All eyes on Charlotte as DC United travel to face Charlotte.
Charlotte welcome DC United in the MLS. We've crunched the numbers. Here's our preview.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Charlotte will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while DC United travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
A concern for DC United: they're giving up chances worth 1.7 a game over their last 5 (vs 1.3 for the season). The defence is creaking.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Charlotte create chances worth 1.1 a game (and give up chances worth 1.7), leaving them -0.6 a game on the balance. DC United create 1.2 (giving up 1.3) for a balance of -0.1. On the quality of chances, DC United look the stronger side. they create more and give up less. DC United's defence is giving up chances. Worth 1.7 a game over their last 5 vs 1.3 for the season. They're becoming easier to break down.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Charlotte average 1.4 goals per game and DC United manage 0.9. Combined that's just 2.3. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
