Charlotte is an MLS rookie, having performed well from the first season. The team is currently in 9th place in the Eastern Conference, three points behind the playoff zone. Charlotte has a weak point, its defensive play—the team concedes more than it scores, but the club still plays confidently at home.
Austin is spending its second season in the MLS, and this year has been more successful for them. Austin is currently in third place in the Western Conference, five points behind the leader. The team has an excellent performance - we saw 51 goals in 16 matches with them (3 scored and 21 conceded). However, Austin concedes more away than they score.
The teams have never met before, but we believe their first meeting must be spectacular. Austin constantly breaks the total of three goals and concedes often on the road, so it is even possible to combine the bet on the total with both to score.
Our prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the “Over 2.5” bet, odds 1.87
