Charlotte FC continues its efforts to turn the season around this weekend when it hosts the New York Red Bulls in a 2022 MLS Saturday matinee. These clubs last saw each other just a couple of weeks ago in the US Open Cup Round of 16, a game which the Red Bulls won 3-1. Since then, New York has a 4-1 win over D.C. United and sits in fourth in the Eastern Conference, just three points out of first place. Meanwhile, Charlotte fired its head coach and then sustained a 2-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders, but there is still hope for the team to move up the MLS table.
Kickoff from Bank Of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., is set for 3 p.m. ET.

Why you should back Charlotte FC
It’s been a wild first season for Charlotte FC, but things could be turning around. After the club fired head coach Miguel Angel Ramirez 14 games into the season, reports have surfaced that there was a major disconnect between the coaching staff and the players. With that business in the rearview mirror, Charlotte can focus on getting into the win column and get that chance against New York.
Charlotte has also played better at home than they have on the road — with the exception of a 5-1 road win over the Richmond Kickers in US Open Cup play back on May 11 — so they should be more comfortable facing the Red Bulls this weekend than they were on May 25 when they played in New Jersey.
Why you should back New York Red Bulls
The Red Bulls have been on an absolute tear, only losing one match over their last 11 across all competitions with no signs of slowing down. They have done so by being an offensive force, scoring three-plus goals in four of their last six matches and not giving a whole lot up in return. It isn’t just top-scorers Lewis Morgan and Patryk Klimala finding the back of the net, either. New York is getting contributions throughout its roster and it is paying off in a big way.
The Red Bulls also enter Saturday’s match with a mental edge. Charlotte is sputtering after the release of its head coach and have yet to find any real consistency in its inaugural season. While Charlotte is capable of scoring multiple goals a game, New York has all the momentum in its favor. New York also scored the first goal in its last match against Charlotte within the first couple of minutes, so expect another early push to put Charlotte on its heels.
