Charlotte preview: Hoping to halt their unwanted streak
It still appears to be a long road to recovery for Charlotte, whose 3-2 loss at Chicago extended their losing run to three games. However, all three defeats came on the road, and Dean Smith's men will look to return to winning ways at home this weekend.
Defender Souleyman Doumbia sustained an 18th-minute injury last Sunday in the loss to Chicago and remains questionable for this home game. Nicholas Scardina, who replaced him, could be in line to start this weekend should Doumbia be ruled unfit.
The team's top marksman, Patrick Agyemang, has been out of action for over a month as he has been with the national team for the Gold Cup. In his absence, Pep Biel and Wilfried Zaha have delivered goals and assists, but recent losses have been a major setback to the club's playoff aspirations, even though they are within reach.
Predicted lineup: Kahlina (GK), Scardina, Privett, Malanda, Marshall-Rutty, Bronico, Westwood, Zaha, Biel, Abada & Jorno.

The team's top performer this season, Martin Ojeda, who has bagged 9 goals, is on a two-game goal drought, but has delivered an assist each in his last two outings.
