Match preview

As Major League Soccer returns in earnest with the international window coming to an end, one question dominates the discussion.

What on earth is going on at Charlotte FC?

On 31 May, Head Coach Miguel Ángel Ramírez was sacked, despite the fact his side sat just below the Eastern Conference play-off line.

Of all 13 expansion clubs since 2010, Charlotte's tally of 16 points after 14 matches ranks sixth so, in short, he wasn't doing a bad job at all.

Queen City's home form had been particularly impressive, winning five of seven matches, only losing to LA Galaxy and CF Montréal in North Carolina.

Now with Christian Lattanzio in interim charge until the end of the season, will Charlotte's pretty decent form improve?

In this game, they're facing a side who have been formidable on the road so far in 2022.

New York Red Bulls became just the second team in MLS history to begin a campaign with five successive road wins, before a draw in Philly broke the streak.

Last time out, Gerhard Struber's side finally won in New Jersey for the first time this season, putting D.C. United to the sword.

Luquinhas bagged a brace before Lewis Morgan and an own goal secured an emphatic 4-1 victory in the Atlantic Cup rivalry match.

Having drawn 3-3 with Chicago Fire ten days earlier, RBNY have actually scored 3+ in successive home games.

This is despite not netting more than once in their previous 15 MLS matches in Harrison.

In this one at Bank of America Stadium, will the Red Bulls climb to the top of the east with a win?
