Betting on Charlotte FC
The Charlotte team heads into this match after four consecutive games without a win, with three draws and one loss. In their last match, they tied 2-2 at home against the Colorado Rapids, missing out on a chance to win by conceding a last-minute goal to the visitors.
Their only victory came back on March 18th against Orlando City, and so far this season, they’ve allowed 16 goals in their net, making them the second-worst defensive team in the league. With only six points, they sit in second-to-last place in the Eastern Conference.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): George Marks; Bill Tuiloma, Adilson Malanda, Joseph Mora, Harrison Afful; Brandt Bronico, Derrick Jones, Kamil Jozwiak; Kerwin Vargas, Karol Swiderski, Enzo Copetti.
Betting on Columbus Crew SC
A tie in the previous match left the Columbus Crew in fourth place in the East with 14 points, three behind the New England Revolution, the team they just drew with 1-1 in their last game. They could have lost, but Sean Zawadzki scored a late goal in the seventh minute of stoppage time, saving the day.
So far this season, Columbus has won four out of eight games and boasts the second-best attack in the competition with 18 goals scored. Only St. Louis City has scored more, with 20 goals to their name.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Patrick Schulte; Gustavo Vallecilla, Milos Degenek, Steven Moreira; Darlington Nagbe, Aidan Morris, Mohamed Farsi, Will Sands; Lucas Zelarayán, Alexandru Matan; Christian Ramírez.
JefeBet Prediction
The contrast in performance between the two teams is evident, with the home team Charlotte having only won one game and being one of the worst defensively, while the visiting team Columbus is among the top-ranked teams and has a strong scoring ability.
It’s clear that the visitors are coming into this Charlotte FC vs Columbus Crew game in better form, despite having tied in their last match, but with a more consistent performance than their opponent. That’s why, at JefeBet, we believe that the Columbus Crew should come out on top in this match and make a significant difference.
