Charlotte FC vs. Minnesota United Prediction: Will Charlotte Remain Unbeaten Again at Home?

Sunday afternoon will see Charlotte FC host Minnesota United at Bank of America Stadium. Heading into this clash both clubs are each sitting in seventh place in their respective conferences with 11 points. This will be the first-ever encounter between these two sides which should make for an interesting matchup.

Charlotte FC remarkably kept their 2-game unbeaten streak intact last weekend in a barnburner of a match winning 3-2 against Toronto FC. Marquee signing Liel Abada punched in his first career MLS goal in the 70th minute, while in the 85th minute, fresh off the bench Patrick Agyemang secured the late-game winner to give the Crowns all three points, extending their unbeaten run at home to 16 matches. 

Meanwhile for Minnesota United, after a positive start to the 2024 campaign, they now find themselves winless in their last three games. Last weekend the Loons are coming off a frustrating match that saw them lose at home to the Houston Dynamo 2-1. MNUFC conceded an own goal and saw their chances of grabbing a result slip away relinquishing a late game-winner in the 77th minute.

Charlotte FC vs. Minnesota - My Pick

Charlotte’s marvelous form at home won’t run forever, but they are in a decent spot to extend their unbeaten streak at Bank of America to 17 games. The Crowns have kept 5 clean sheets in their past 11 home matches thanks to their gritty defense. It will be difficult for the Loons to breach one past the keeper in this situation. Home sides in MLS usually own the edge when on paper it’s laid out to be a closely contested battle. CLTFC meetings at home against the MLS elites like Columbus and Cincinnati have demonstrated they hang with anyone when they’re backed by their hardcore jubilant fans.
