Prediction: 2-0
Charlotte
Charlotte will be aiming to impress on their MLS debut when they face DC United at Audi Field on Sunday. Charlotte have big ambitions for their inaugural season in the Major League Soccer, but the bookies see them as underdogs in their opener. A man to watch in the away team will be experienced full-back Christian Fuchs, who played for Leicester City in the past, while fellow defender Jaylin Lindsey is likely to miss the game with injury.
The capital club, on the other hand, missed out on a place in the playoffs last term, with the team finishing the process in 8th place, only one point behind the playoffs berth. DC United, though, are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and we predict that they will pick up all three points from the season opener. The opposition defenders should have Ola Kamara at bay as he scored 19 goals in 28 appearances last season.
