DC United vs Charlotte FC Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 10/17/24, 5:14 AM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 10/17/24 at 1:15 PM in Major League Soccer Picks

The last round of the MLS regular season will be played next Saturday, and even when everything appears to be defined in both Conferences, the reality is that there are still some spots pending to be defined. In that scenario there are some teams like DC United, that will face its last game of the season at home against Charlotte to ensure the Wild Card spot that they currently occupy.

With that in mind, is a fact that the pressure will totally be on DC United side, because in case of losing this game they most likely will be eliminated from the competition. Also, it must be added that even when they were able to win their last 2 games, their defensive line is the second worst in the Eastern Conference with 67 conceded goals, so there aren’t any big expectations of competing for the championship.

Meantime, Charlotte FC is already qualified for the playoffs, so this game could be taken as an internal competition test for their head coach, Dean Smith. In this regard, even when Charlotte is one of the most solid MLS teams, they don’t have any player who has scored more than 10 goals throughout the season, so it isn’t surprising that this team is one of the worst offensives with just 43 scored goals.
