Charlotte FC host New England Revolution on Saturday, May 23 at 7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT at Bank of America Stadium.
This is the last regular-season weekend before the World Cup pause, with one club chasing top-two seeding in the East and the other clinging to a playoff line.
Our Charlotte FC vs New England Revolution prediction starts with the gap between these two on the Eastern Conference table. The Revs hold position 3 in the East on 25 points and have a clear path at Inter Miami’s seeding spot if any of the contenders above slip. Meanwhile, the Crown sit at position 7 in the conference, four points clear of the cut. A run of five matches without a win dragged Charlotte FC backwards into the cut-line conversation, but they returned to winning ways against Toronto FC at the weekend.
Odds were not yet posted at the time of writing — check bet365 for the latest. The recent meeting at Gillette Stadium on May 2 went the Revs’ way 1-0, and the form lines say the visitors deserve favorite status here.

Potential Match-Winners
- Pep Biel (Charlotte FC): Leads the Crown with seven goals and four assists in 1,229 minutes, with 12 shots on target and six big chances created — Charlotte’s clearest route to a goal.
- Wilfried Zaha (Charlotte FC): Three goals and an assist in 1,072 minutes, with 12 shots on target — the attacking threat that turns a one-point Saturday into three.
- Carles Gil (New England Revolution): Five goals and three assists from midfield in 1,163 minutes, with 11 shots on target and three big chances created — the obvious lever in any Revs game-state.
- Luca Langoni (New England Revolution): Six assists, three goals and six big chances created in just 814 minutes — top assist man for the visitors and a starter on form.
Head-to-Head
The Revs lead the all-time series in MLS play, with six wins to the Crown’s three across nine meetings — including a 1-0 win at Gillette earlier this month. These two are yet to play out a draw.
