New York Red Bulls Seek Third Straight Win Against Charlotte FC

HARRISON, New Jersey – New York Red Bulls will face Charlotte FC on Wednesday at Red Bull Arena, aiming for their third consecutive victory in Major League Soccer. The match is set to kick off at 12:30 a.m. UK time.

After earning a 2-0 win against D.C. United, the Red Bulls hope to climb the standings in the Eastern Conference. Currently sitting in ninth place, they trail Charlotte FC by just one point in the standings.

New York started the season with mixed results, winning only five of their first 14 games. However, they rebounded with a penalty shootout victory over FC Dallas in the U.S. Open Cup and then followed it up with a solid league win against D.C. United. Sandro Schwarz, the team’s coach, is looking for continued progress now that his squad seems to have found its form.

Charlotte FC, in comparison, is also in search of a win to stay competitive in the chase for the playoffs. The team ended a five-match league losing streak with a 3-2 victory against Columbus Crew after a tough stretch that saw them score just five goals while conceding 14.

Coach Christian Lattanzio’s squad started the season well but saw a decline due to injuries and poor results. Patrick Agyemang is currently the leading scorer for Charlotte, hoping to add more goals to his tally against a rival that has struggled defensively.

In terms of lineup, New York may continue without a few key players due to injuries. However, they have the potential to start Mohammed Sofo, who scored off the bench last week. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s Agyemang will be crucial to their attack, supported by a restructured front line that includes veteran players.

The match promises to be competitive, with both teams eager to establish momentum. Fans at Red Bull Arena can expect an exciting night of soccer.
