After weeks away thanks to the Leagues Cup, Major League Soccer returns to our lives this week. While it may have served as a nice distraction from the league format, many fans are excited to see their side get back up and running. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should prove to be a fun encounter between Charlotte FC and Los Angeles FC.
Charlotte Form GuideAs an expansion team, it’s hard for fans to expect all too much from Charlotte in their first few years of existence. It’s all about establishing themselves and when you consider that they probably don’t have the same kind of financial platform as other newcomers to the league, it becomes clear why they’re struggling. Still, they aren’t the worst team in the East, and they can often be enjoyable to watch.
Charlotte haven’t played since the Leagues Cup as they prepare for their first MLS game in over a month.
Los Angeles Form GuideLos Angeles FC are the reigning kings of Major League Soccer following their dramatic triumph in the MLS Cup last year. Now, their job is to stay at the top of the mountain, and they’ve been doing a pretty good job of that up to this point. They’re one of the favourites in the Western Conference and once they get into the post-season, we all know what they’re capable of.

Match PredictionCharlotte have the ability to cause teams problems when they get things going through the middle of the park, but they’re coming up against a team that are good in just about every department - especially when their team cohesion is high. With that being said, we’re going to back a Los Angeles win to keep them comfortable in the West.
