New York City FC vs Charlotte FC Prediction and Betting Tips | August 17th 2022

New York City FC and Charlotte FC will both be looking to end their two-game losing streak when they lock horns at the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday.

However, the Pigeons head into the game unbeaten in 13 straight games across all competitions and will look to continue the trend.

New York City FC were condemned to a second consecutive MLS defeat for the first time since April as they were beaten 3-2 by Inter Miami on Sunday.

They have now failed to taste victory in their last three outings, picking up one point from a possible nine.

With 42 points from 24 games, New York City FC are currently third in the Eastern Conference standings, six points off first-placed Philadelphia Union.

Like the hosts, Charlotte FC failed to find their feet last time out as they suffered a 5-0 thumping against Los Angeles FC.

They have now lost three of their last four outings, with a 3-0 win over DC United on August 4 being the only exception.

With 29 points from 25 games, Charlotte are currently 11th in the east, level on points with Toronto FC.
