Charlotte team news and form: Balanced display by Charlotte
Coach Dean Smith’s boys have been winning as much as they have been losing in 2024. Surely, the English manager wants the three points, but he will have to settle for only one this week, as Orlando City are performing quite well at Exploria Stadium.

Player to watch: Duncan McGuire
McGuire took part in the Summer Olympics in France last month. Maybe that’s why he’s just the second-best Orlando City finisher this season. However, he has a secured spot on coach Pareja’s lineup, which is a reason for us to believe our Orlando City vs Charlotte predictions just might succeed.
Second player to watch: Ashley Westwood
Charlotte’s team captain is expected to make an appearance at Exploria Stadium. Despite playing close to the defenders in the midfield, he still managed to score on two occasions this season.
