FC Cincinnati will aim for their fourth straight win as they host Charlotte FC at TQL Stadium MLS matchup.
FC Cincinnati now lead the Eastern Conference standings after a commanding 6-1 win over Inter Miami, propelled by Yuya Kubo's brace and goals from Luciano Costa, Pavel Bucha, and Yamil Asad before Gerardo Valenzuela sealed their third consecutive victory with his maiden MLS goal.
With 11 wins, six draws, and just three losses in 22 MLS matches, FC Cincinnati head into their next game as the second-highest scorers in the Eastern Conference, boasting 42 goals. Defensively, they hold the third-best record in the conference, conceding only 26 goals.
On the other hand, Charlotte FC have hit a rough patch, dropping points in their last two games against Houston Dynamo and Inter Miami, conceding early and late goals in each match. Despite these setbacks, they maintain a solid position in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, holding a six-point cushion over eighth place.
Charlotte's defensive strength shines through, having allowed only 23 goals in 22 matches, the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. However, their offensive output has been modest with just 22 goals scored in MLS this season.
