Despite the fact that only two official games between the two teams were played, we still advise you to check out the following Charlotte vs LA Galaxy statistics.

Charlotte team news and form: Counter-attacking style proves decisive

In both of Charlotte’s last two games in MLS, the team relied on counter attacks to get the job done. In the match against Chicago Fire at Soldier Field, Charlotte only had 37.0% possession and two shots on target, but they were enough for a vital 0-1 win against Klopas’ side.

Predicted lineup: Kahlina (GK), Privett, Reginaldo, Malanda, Westwood, Byrne, Urso, Vargas, Petkovic, Smalls & Agyemang

LA Galaxy team news and form: Disappointing run from LA Galaxy

As we stated earlier in our Charlotte vs LA Galaxy prediction, the visitors failed to make chances pay in their last three games. Coach Vanney’s boys even shared the spoils in last week’s match against Minnesota United after Kevin Arriaga scored an 80th-minute equalizer for the home side.

Predicted lineup: McCarthy (GK), Nealson, Caceres, Yoshida, Yamane, Delgado, Brugman, Puig, Paintsil, Berry & Pec

Player to watch: Riqui Puig

Riqui Puig is the most expensive player under coach Greg Vanney’s wing. The former Barcelona starlet has a massive €12m price tag on his head, and when you watch him play, you can understand why that is.

Puig has the quality

Riqui has his entire career in front of him, but already he is a tremendous player. So far, he has three goals and four assists to his name in the 2024 MLS campaign. If he manages to prove our Charlotte vs LA Galaxy predictions wrong, perhaps he can climb the goalscoring chart a bit more and catch up to partner-in-crime Joveljic.
