My Prediction
New York Red Bulls by 1All right, soccer fans, gather round. We've got quite the clash here: The New York Red Bulls versus Charlotte FC.
In goal for the Red Bulls, we've got Carlos Coronel, rated 7.30, with 25 saves. Meanwhile, Charlotte FC's last line of defense is Kristijan Kahlina, who's holding a slightly lesser rating of 6.8 with 28 saves. Small margins folks, small margins, but for those of you with an eye for detail, it could make the slightest bit of difference.
Switching gears to the field players, Charlotte FC has quite a mix of talent. We can't ignore Wilfried Zaha, with an impressive 7.4 rating and 2 goals to his name along with 5 shots on goal. Patrick Agyemang isn't too far behind with three goals and ten shots on goal, flaunting a 7.22 rating. And then there's Ashley Westwood, although he hasn't found the back of the net, he has a commendable pass accuracy, sitting pretty at 89.6%.
However, over at the New York Red Bulls', there's Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, holding the highest number of goals for his team. With a rating of 7.32 and four goals from five shots, it's no surprise that if he gets a sniff at the goal, it's usually lights out. Following closely, Emil Forsberg with two goals from four attempts, boasts a 7.2 rating.
Looking back at the previous matches, Red Bulls seem to have an edge against Charlotte FC. New York boys emerged victorious from three out of five previous encounters, leaving one to a draw and a single game to Charlotte FC.
Now, if we gaze over the regular season records, both teams unveil a similar picture, with Charlotte FC at 7-1-7 and New York Red Bulls not too far off pace at 6-3-6. Charlotte slightly in the lead but not necessarily running away with it.
In light of recent results, both teams seem to have had their share of highs and lows. But, the significant seven-goal victory by the Red Bulls over LA Galaxy might hint at a bit more fire in their belly.
Finally, it's prediction time. Hmm. Looking at goalie stats, recent form, and the previous skirmishes between these two sides, the scales seem to be tipping more in favor of the New York Red Bulls.
