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

North Carolina team gear up to host the Canadian outfit.

The MLS Eastern Conference fixture takes us to the Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina, where home team Charlotte FC are set to lock horns against Toronto FC.

Charlotte FC are currently positioned seventh in the MLS Eastern Conference points table. A win in the next game could see them climb a spot higher to leapfrog Orlando City. The home team has maintained an undefeated record in the last four games.

They went on to get the better of New York City, DC United and Atlanta United and played a thrilling 2-2 draw against Orlando City. A high-spirited side led by Dean Smith would be keen to clinch a victory in the next game and solidify their position in the top seven for a spot in the Final series.

Toronto FC, on the other hand, are positioned fourth from the bottom of the table in the MLS Eastern Conference. They are languishing in the lower echelons of the table with just 21 points under their belt so far, winning just five out of the possible 23 games.

Talking about their recent form, it has been a series of mixed results. They played a 1-1 draw against Atlanta United before clinching a slender win against San Diego FC. In their most recent game against Nashville, they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat.
