Charlotte vs DC United Prediction
Charlotte vs DC United Prediction and Betting Tips for this Wednesday’s Eastern Conference MLS clash at the Bank of America Stadium. In this article, you’ll find expert insights and MLS Predictions from XpertStats to help guide your bets this week.
- Charlotte FC unbeaten in 8 of last 10 home matches.
- DC United on a six-match winless streak, conceding heavily away.
- Average goals per match for both teams stands at 3.2.
Charlotte FC come into this fixture with renewed confidence after a crucial 2-0 victory over New York City FC last week. That result snapped a frustrating four-game winless run and pushed them back into playoff contention in ninth place with 29 points. Dean Smith’s side have built a strong home record this season, remaining unbeaten in eight of their last 10 games at the Bank of America Stadium and claiming seven wins in that stretch. They’ll look to keep that momentum going against a DC United side they’ve beaten four times in their last eight encounters.
One major factor working in Charlotte’s favor is their attacking output at home. Averaging 2.1 goals scored per match while conceding just 1.1, they’ve consistently produced high-scoring affairs, with 90% of their games featuring over 1.5 goals. Players like Biel have stepped up recently, and the expected return of their Gold Cup participants should add even more depth to their lineup. With Ashley Westwood anchoring the midfield, Charlotte appear well-balanced and difficult to break down, especially in front of their own fans.
Meanwhile, DC United are still searching for answers as they continue to slide down the Eastern Conference table. Troy Lesesne’s men have failed to win in six consecutive matches, losing five of those, including a 2-1 defeat at LA Galaxy in their most recent outing. Defensive issues have plagued them all season, with an average of 2.3 goals conceded per game and nine goals shipped in just their last three away trips. Despite boasting players like Christian Benteke up front, their average goals scored per match sits at a concerning 0.9.
History hasn’t been kind to DC United when visiting Charlotte either. The visitors have yet to win at the Bank of America Stadium, drawing three and losing two of their last five visits. With Kristian Fletcher and Lukas McNaughton sidelined, their options remain limited, and their shaky defensive record away from home leaves them vulnerable. As both sides push for crucial points, these stats suggest that Charlotte have the edge and will look to capitalize on DC’s travel woes and leaky backline to secure another vital home win.

Charlotte to Win looks solid given their impressive home record and DC United’s miserable away form. Dean Smith’s men are unbeaten in eight of their last 10 home games, picking up seven wins in that run. Their attack averages 2.1 goals per match and they’ve kept things relatively tight at the back, conceding just 1.1 per game on average. Meanwhile, DC United have not tasted victory in their last six outings, losing five and conceding nine goals in their previous three away fixtures alone. They struggle for goals too, with only 0.9 scored per match on average. Key players like Benteke lack consistent service, and their defensive unit remains shaky without McNaughton. Charlotte have already beaten DC United four times in their last eight head-to-heads and have never lost to them at home in MLS play. All signs point towards Charlotte extending their strong form at the Bank of America Stadium.
