North Carolina form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for North Carolina so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose).

Two travels in a row for North Carolina, whose manager J. Bradford could celebrate last time after the USL League One win against Inter Miami II. Late drama in the previous game, when R. Kristo scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time to defeat Inter Miami II.

That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Richmond Kickers.

The attacking power of Carolina when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 8 goals have been conceded by Carolina in these games.
