Charlotte FC and New England Revolution go head-to-head at the Bank of America Stadium in MLS on Saturday. Dean Smith’s hosts head into the weekend on a run of three consecutive victories as they look to go top of the Supporters’ Shield table.
Charlotte turned in an impressive display on Sunday as they picked up a comfortable 3-0 victory over San Diego FC at home. Smith’s men have won all but one of their last six league matches, with a 2-0 defeat to Colorado Rapids in March being the exception.
With 19 points from nine matches, Charlotte lead the way atop the Western Conference, only above second-placed FC Cincinnati on goal difference.
Meanwhile, Leonardo Campana and Ignatius Ganago were on target to fire New England Revolution to a 2-0 victory over New York City FC at the Gillette Stadium last time out.
Caleb Porter’s side have won three of their most recent four games, seeing off New York Red Bulls, Atlanta United and New York City FC, having picked up one point from their opening four games this season.
New England have 10 points from eight matches to sit 11th in the Western Conference, albeit with a game in hand.
