Charlotte invite last-placed DC United to the Bank of America Stadium in their upcoming MLS Eastern Conference fixture on Wednesday.
Charlotte have lost their last two MLS games and saw their game against the Columbus Crew suspended due to poor weather conditions. DC United returned to winning ways in the MLS last time around, defeating Orlando City 2-1.
It was DC United's first win in roughly a month but they remain in last place in the Eastern Conference standings with 21 points. Charlotte are in 10th place with 26 points and will be looking to leave a good account of themselves, having not played a game over the weekend.
