Our prediction is: North Carolina FC to score first
It will be a tough task for North Carolina FC to topple Oakland Roots, who have been a better side overall this season. But with the support of the home crowd will be a huge help to North Carolina FC in their bid to cause an upset.
While the odds of an outright win are not great, we recommend betting on North Carolina FC to score first as a decent alternative. There is still good value in those odds, and with North Carolina FC's attacking talent, they have more than a puncher's chance of paying off that bet.
Our prediction is: North Carolina FC win or draw
Our top betting tip is North Carolina FC to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is North Carolina FC, the home team, must win or draw for the bet to win, and we feel strongly that the match will end in one of those two outcomes.
We simply don't see North Carolina FC losing to Oakland Roots. More than the gulf in quality between the two sides which is clear to see in the statistics, we also have a lot of belief in North Carolina FC's ability to make home advantage count in this match.
