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, with Idan Toklomati Giorno expected to lead the line and Pep Biel Mas Jaume pulling the strings behind him; Liel Abada is also in the picture after a productive run of minutes. Orlando City will again turn to Martín Ezequiel Ojeda and Antoine Griezmann at the top end, with Iván Darío Angulo Cortés a threat at set pieces from the back.
Charlotte FC’s +8 goal difference sits a long way clear of Orlando City’s -13, and that gap should tell at Bank of America Stadium. Orlando have found goals on the road but have conceded just as freely, which sets up a game with chances for both sides even if Charlotte’s extra control at home edges it late on.
