Orlando City welcome Charlotte FC to Exploria Stadium on Wednesday, April 22, with kickoff set for 7:30 PM ET. The stakes are clear: Orlando are desperate to halt a disastrous start to their MLS<\/a> campaign, while Charlotte arrive in the playoff spots and are playing some of the sharpest soccer in the Eastern Conference. A win for CLTFC could cement their place among the East’s elite, while Orlando risk further descent unless they can overturn both form and history in front of their home crowd.<\/p>\n\n
