Charlotte FC host Orlando City at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday, October 31 (1:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM CT / 10:00 AM PT).
Charlotte FC have no fresh fitness concerns to report ahead of this one, with Idan Toklomati Giorno and Pep Biel Mas Jaume both in line to lead the hosts’ attack at Bank of America Stadium. The pair have combined for twenty-five goals this season, and Biel’s chance creation numbers mean he should once again be the fulcrum of everything Charlotte try to do through the middle. Orlando City are similarly unaffected by absences, with Martín Ojeda and Antoine Griezmann set to spearhead the visitors’ approach after contributing fifteen and thirteen goals respectively this season.

Charlotte FC vs Orlando City Prediction
Expect a competitive afternoon at Bank of America Stadium between sides scrapping for position inside the East’s playoff picture — Sixth-placed Charlotte on 47 points against seventh-placed Orlando on 41. Giorno should get on the scoresheet for the hosts, Biel’s creativity should tee up a second, and Orlando’s leaky defence means Ojeda or Griezmann can find a reply at the other end. We’re backing Charlotte FC to edge it 2-1.
