General match analysis
Charlotte have clear home-field advantages: they win 55% of their home matches and average 2.09 goals scored there, while DC United win just 20% of their away games and average 1.20 goals. The hosts create more danger, averaging 13.45 shots and 6.09 on target per match, compared with 10.3 shots and 3.2 on target for the visitors. The difference is also reflected in chance quality: Charlotte’s average home xG is 1.59, while DC United’s away xG is only 1.15, with the visitors simultaneously allowing a higher xG of 1.72. Charlotte’s form is also more convincing, as they have won 3 of their last 5 matches and conceded just 4 goals during that run. DC United remain unbeaten in five matches, but 4 of those ended in draws, while 60% of their away fixtures finish level. A draw is therefore a realistic alternative, but the quality advantage points to the hosts.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The BTTS - Yes pick is primarily supported by Charlotte’s very poor defensive efficiency over the course of the season: the hosts concede an average of 2.11 goals and have kept a clean sheet in only 11% of matches. DC United have recently averaged 2.0 goals per game, recorded BTTS in 100% of their last five appearances, and created chances worth an average of 1.47 xG. Charlotte should also find a way to score, as they average 5.67 shots on target and have a season xG of 1.61, while the visitors’ defense allows an average of 1.72 xG. Although the hosts have conceded only 0.8 goals per game across their last five matches, DC United have failed to keep a clean sheet in 40% of their league matches and conceded as many as 1.8 goals per game during this recent run. Charlotte’s season BTTS rate stands at 78%, well above the league average of 62%, making both teams more likely to score than only one side finding the net.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Charlotte average 1.61 xG per match, while DC United allow opponents 1.72 xG, indicating solid potential for the hosts to score at least once. The visitors have scored 10 goals in their last five matches, averaging 2.0 per game, but have also conceded 9, with their opponents generating as much as 1.90 xG against them. Charlotte matches went over 1.5 goals in 89% of cases, compared with 60% for DC United; additionally, the league average is a high 3.2 goals per match. Charlotte have kept a clean sheet in only 11% of matches, so even despite improving defensively to 0.8 goals conceded over their last five outings, the scenario of at least two goals remains the most likely. The Over 1.5 goals line offers a clearer edge than Over 2.5, as DC United’s season profile produced fewer than three goals in 70% of matches.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The most likely HT/FT outcome is a draw at half-time followed by a Charlotte win, as DC United have drawn as many as 60% of their matches this season and recorded four draws in their last five games. Charlotte had a half-time draw in three of their last five fixtures, while also avoiding defeat in each of those matches after the first half. After the break, the hosts should make the most of their creative advantage: their average xG stands at 1.61 compared with 1.15 for DC United, and they average 5.67 shots on target per match versus 3.20 for their opponents. The visitors’ defense allows an average of 1.72 xG, whereas Charlotte have conceded just 0.8 goals per match across their last five fixtures. The prospect of a late turnaround is also supported by the fact that at least one goal was scored after half-time in 89% of Charlotte’s matches and 70% of DC United’s.
