My Prediction
Charlotte FC by 1Oh, what a kettle of excitement we have brewing here! Charlotte FC and New England Revolution are set to square off, and it's all the soccer-loving world can talk about.
The line-up of goalkeepers suggests a fairly even draw between the pipes. With New England's Aljaž Ivačič and Charlotte's Kristijan Kahlina both boasting a rating of around 7.4 and 14 saves each, it might just be a toss-up over who has the classier gloves.
Diving into the player stats, New England's got their star man Carles Gil, who's got 3 goals already, what a guy! Number-juggler Brayan Ceballos and Leonardo Campana are also names we should be shouting about, provided they don't forget how to kick the ball onto the net.
Over on Charlotte's end, Pep Biel is leading the charge with an impressive 7.65 rating and 1 goal. His buddies Wilfried Zaha and Adilson Malanda aren't far behind. Charlotte fails quite miserably in the shooting department compared to New England, but let's not point fingers here.
History leans slightly towards Charlotte FC as they previously delivered a 4-0 thrashing to New England. Ouch! Although New England came back swinging in their following encounters, the humiliating defeat is likely still a fresh wound.
Looking at how the teams have been performing this season; it’s a game of clear contrasts. Charlotte FC, the show-offs, have an impressive record of 6-1-2, while New England's less glamorous 3-1-4 record leaves them looking like the kid who didn't get picked for the team at recess.
The recent games show Charlotte FC in a particularly rich vein of form, stamping their mark with a glorious 3-0 victory against San Diego FC. New England, on the other hand, beat New York City FC 2-0, so they're not going down without a fight.
Given all these considerations, I'm sure you wouldn't have needed a psychology degree to work this one out.
