Charlotte FC vs DC United Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

The Black and Red came out on top in their last meeting against the Crown.

Charlotte FC are ready to host DC United for the round 23 match of the Major League Soccer 2025 season. The interesting contest between the two Eastern Conference teams will take place at the Bank of America Stadium.

Charlotte FC are coming in after securing a 2-0 win against New York City FC in their last league game. For their upcoming MLS match, they will be at home, hence keeping their confidence levels on point. The Crown are currently in ninth place on the Eastern Conference MLS points table.

DC United have shown lacklustre performances this season. The Black and Red have only been able to secure four wins in their 22 MLS matches this season. They are placed 13th on the points table and have a lot of work to do.

Even though they came up with a strong performance against the Crown last time around, it is not going to be an easy fixture for them.

• Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
• Stadium: Bank of America Stadium
• Date: Thursday, July 17
• Kick-off Time: 05:00 IST (Wednesday, July 16: 23:30 GMT/ 19:30 ET/ 16:30 PT)
• Referee: TBD

Players to Watch

Wilfried Zaha (Charlotte FC)

With 11 goal involvements for Charlotte FC in 19 MLS appearances this season, Wilfried Zaha has been one of their most consistent players. Controlling the midfield and leading the attack from the left wing, the 32-year-old Englishman is going to play a crucial part for the Crown yet again.

Christian Benteke (DC United)

The 34-year-old Belgian forward will be looking to step up here. Christian Benteke has scored six goals and has an assist to his name in 15 league fixtures this season. With his experience, he can help his side in the final third, but the upcoming fixture is going to be a tough task for both the player and his team.
