👉 Our prediction is: DC United to win

In all honesty, there is no other result we can foresee for this match other than DC United to win outright, which is our betting tip.

DC United's strong form this season, particularly at home, is hard to overlook, as are Charlotte's shaky overall results and performances of late. And we expect the two sides to play true to form when they meet for their upcoming match.

👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

DC United and Charlotte are two attacking sides who have what it takes to make this an entertaining and eventful match.

That's why we highly recommend taking the bet of over 2.5 goals. The bet wins if there are 3 or more goals scored in the match, and if there are 2 goals or fewer, the bet loses.
