The Five Stripes to take on Charlotte in the Bank of America stadium.

Charlotte FC are set to clash with Atlanta United at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, USA. This encounter promises to be an exciting fixture in Major League Soccer (MLS), with both teams eager to secure valuable points. Charlotte FC, playing on their home turf, will aim to leverage the support of their passionate fan base to gain an edge over their rivals.

Meanwhile, Atlanta United, known for their dynamic attacking style, will look to upset the hosts and continue their pursuit of a higher spot in the league standings. The match is set to be a thrilling contest between two competitive teams, each vying for victory in the heart of Charlotte.

Charlotte FC currently sit in 6th place in the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer (MLS), having won 10 out of 26 matches and securing 38 points. They are keen to secure a victory against Atlanta United to climb higher in the standings and overtake New York City FC for the 5th spot. Despite their promising position, Charlotte FC have struggled with form in recent games.

In the Leagues Cup, they were defeated by Philadelphia Union and managed only a goalless draw against Cruz Azul. Following the resumption of MLS, they played to a 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls. As they prepare to host Atlanta United, Charlotte FC will aim to capitalize on their home-field advantage and secure a much-needed win to regain momentum and strengthen their playoff aspirations.

Atlanta United currently occupy 9th place in the Eastern Conference standings of Major League Soccer (MLS), with 28 points accumulated from 26 matches. Their season has been marred by a lacklustre display and inconsistent performances, causing them to slide down the table. Recent results have been particularly disappointing.

They lost both of their group-stage matches in the Leagues Cup, with the defeats coming on penalties, which further highlighted their struggles. In their most recent MLS match against LA Galaxy, they were beaten after goals from Riqui Puig and Javier Hernández (Chicharito) secured all three points for the Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park. Despite these setbacks, Atlanta United will aim to bounce back quickly and leave behind their recent woes as they prepare to face Charlotte FC.

They are determined to find their form and improve their standing in the league. They will focus on a much-needed win against Charlotte FC to regain confidence and spark a positive run in the remaining matches of the season.
