Charlotte FC vs. Columbus Crew odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Charlotte FC vs. Columbus Crew odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

Charlotte FC (13 wins, 17 losses, 2 draws) welcomes the Columbus Crew (10-7-15) to Bank of America Stadium Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Charlotte FC vs. Columbus Crew odds, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Charlotte has played well in its inaugural season and was in the playoff hunt for quite some time. Despite being 4 points behind the 7th-seeded Inter Miami, if it wins this game it could still technically get in.

Charlotte has played far better at home this season, going 10-6-0. It’s led by Polish F Karol Świderski, who has 10 goals on the season.

The Crew are currently in the 8th spot in the East. They have just 10 wins and won’t win the tiebreaker over Orlando City or Inter Miami, both of which also have 45 points on 32 games played.

Columbus is led by M Lucas Zelarayán who has 9 goals on the season. The midseason addition of F Cucho, who also had 9 goals, has been huge as he’s provided a spark to an otherwise lifeless attack.

Prediction

Columbus Crew 2, Charlotte FC 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET COLUMBUS CREW (+155).

Simply put — the Crew have something to play for. Their playoff lives are on the line. Charlotte has won 3 straight games but has lost 7 of its last 12 and is 2-3-0 at home over its last 5.

The addition of Cucho has paid huge dividends for Columbus. While it has won just 2 of its last 6 contests, it has had more expected goals than its opponent in 4 of its last 6.

The Crew are going to be the side with more reason to compete, and that should propel the motivation. At this value, I’d play them to win outright.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-145).

This game will kick off without a 6th of the game. Having been made up from an earlier weather-delayed match, the score will resume 0-0 after about 15 minutes.

The Crew have gone under this total in 3 of their last 6 games and in only 1 of their last 2 games has either team had more than 2 expected goals.

They allow just 1.12 goals per game, the second-lowest rate in the East. Charlotte, on the other hand, has scored just 42 all season, a low rate as well. It has gone under this total in 3 of its last 5.

FC Cincinnati vs. Charlotte FC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s FC Cincinnati vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati (8 wins, 8 losses, 11 draws) welcomes Charlotte FC (10-16-2) to TQL Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the FC Cincinnati vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati is coming into this match after an absolute heartbreaking draw  against rival Columbus. After leading 2-1 following the clock striking 90, FCC gave up a goal and settled for their 9th draw in 11 games.

FCC is led by star F Brandon Vazquez, who has 16 goals and 4 assists on the season. Fellow All-Star M and captain Luciano Acosta has 6 goals and 9 assists. FC Cincinnati is 1 point outside of playoff position.

In its first season in the MLS, Charlotte has actually impressed, but has failed to get many results as of late. Not surprising for a 1st-year club, Charlotte FC has been awful on the road, posting a 2-8-2 record.

They have now lost 6 of their last 8. Charlotte is led by F Karol Świderski with 8 goals on the season. He’s the only player with more than 5 for the road side.

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 3, Charlotte FC 2

Money line (ML)

BET FC CINCINNATI (-122).

FC Cincinnati has had a couple of tough breaks at home, but against both Columbus and Atlanta, in their last 2 home matches, they have looked like the better side.

FCC has had more expected goals than their opponent in 6 straight home matches, a streak that includes games against the New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union.

Couple that with Charlotte’s awful play on the road this season, and FCC to win seems like the best bet at this value. Charlotte has lost 3 of its last 4 road matches.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN ALTERNATE OVER 3.5 (+155).

Charlotte has gone over this total in 4 straight road matches, and a good chunk of it is because of its poor defense. Charlotte is allowing 1.52 goals per game which won’t bode well against FCC’s high-pace offense.

FCC is an aggressive side and has the talent to back it up, having gone over this total in 4 of their last 5 matches. FCC averages 1.67 goals and allows 1.78 per game.

Considering how both have played as of late, I’ll take the alternate over for better value here.

LAFC vs. Charlotte FC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s LAFC vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

LAFC (16 wins, 4 losses, 3 draws) welcomes Charlotte FC (9-13-2) to Banc of California Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the LAFC vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

LAFC is the best team in the MLS and are 6 points ahead of the second-place Austin FC. With the midseason addition of European stars F Gareth Bale and D Giorgio Chiellini, LAFC has gotten that much stronger.

LAFC is led in scoring by star F Cristian Arango, who has 11 goals, but the offense is typically run through F Carlos Vela, who has 7 goals and 7 assists on the season.

As for Charlotte FC, they’ll be faced with a tough task, traveling out West to take on a surging LAFC. Charlotte has fallen outside of playoff position and is just 1-9-2 on the road this season.

In its first season in the MLS, Charlotte has actually impressed, having won 8 of 12 at home. It is led by FKarol Świderski, who has 7 goals on the season, his first in the MLS.

Prediction

LAFC 3, Charlotte FC 1

Money line (ML)

AVOID.

LAFC is just too good to bet against, and Charlotte has been awful on the road.

Betting a -270 favorite, especially in soccer, just isn’t typically a smart play. LAFC has won 5 straight and 7 of its last 8. It has also won 5 straight at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+120).

LAFC has the most clinical attack in the MLS, and Vela showed that as he scored the first goal within the first 5 minutes of the MLS All-Star Game in Minneapolis Wednesday.

LAFC has scored at least 2 goals in 5 straight games and has topped 2 in 2 of its last 5. The home side has topped 3.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 games at Banc of California Stadium.

As for Charlotte, it has had some success on the road. While the results haven’t necessarily been there, it has scored in 6 of its last 7 road matches and has scored at least 2 in 2 of its last 3. Charlotte FC’s last 2 road matches have gone over this total.

Put it all together, and considering how good LAFC is, I’d bet on a goal-fest Saturday evening.

Charlotte FC vs. Columbus Crew odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Charlotte FC vs. Columbus Crew odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

Charlotte FC (8 wins, 12 losses, 2 draws) welcomes the Columbus Crew (7-5-9) to Bank of America Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we preview the Charlotte FC vs. Columbus Crew odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Back in playoff position, the Crew will look to capitalize on the road. Columbus has been a drawing machine, tying 6 of 11 away matches this season.

The Crew, who haven’t lost since May 21, are led by 2021 All-Star M Lucas Zelarayán. F Derrick Etienne and Zelarayán lead the team in both goals (5 each) and assists (also 5 apiece). Columbus is 4-0-5 in its last 9 matches.

Charlotte FC, in its first MLS season in the MLS, started off strong but hasn’t been able to sustain that play, dropping 4 of its last 6. Charlotte is tough at home, however, winning 7 of 10 there, including 3 of its last 4.

Charlotte is led by 25-year-old Polish F Karol Świderski, who is tied with a team-best 5 goals to go along with 2 assists.

[tipico]

Check out Pro Soccer Wire: For the American soccer fan, USA TODAY Sports Media Group’s website provides a fresh look at the beautiful game.

Prediction

Columbus Crew 1, Charlotte FC 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+235).

This 1-1 final would be exactly how the 1st game between these two played out June 18 at Lower.com Field. Columbus has drawn 4 of its last 7 matches.

While Charlotte hasn’t played to a draw in its last 6 matches, 4 of those contests were 1-goal finals. So, Charlotte has been playing close games.

With 25 goals in 22 matches, Charlotte is not an aggressive side; the same can be said of Columbus, which has just 27 goals in 21 games. Both teams also rank in the top half of the MLS in passing rate and save rate.

Columbus plays to its opponent level, and Charlotte has been prone to close-fought matches as of late. Considering that and that both teams are slower, meticulous sides, the play here is DRAW (+235).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-120).

As noted above, neither team puts the ball in the back of the net at a high rate. Both clubs rank in the bottom half of the league in shots on target and total attacking assists.

Along those lines, there isn’t much starpower on display as neither side has a player with more than 5 goals on the season.

Columbus is 9-12 O/U 2.5 goals, while Charlotte is 13-9 O/U 2.5 goals with its point of struggle on the defensive end, allowing 1.41 goals per game. Fortunately for Charlotte, Columbus has the 6th-fewest goals in the East.

This has all the indications of a low-scoring battle.

Columbus Crew vs. Charlotte FC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Columbus Crew vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

The Columbus Crew (4 wins, 5 losses, 4 draws) welcome Charlotte FC (6-8-1) to Lower.com Field Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Columbus Crew vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Charlotte kicked off June action with an impressive 2-0 home victory over the New York Red Bulls, a nationally televised game. They scored both goals in extra time.

In their first year, Charlotte sits 7th on the table. While in playoff position, they’ve scored 15 goals and allowed 18 for a -3 goal differential. They’re led by F Karol Świderski, who has 4 goals on the season.

As for the Crew, they’ve been relatively disappointing. However, they do have more points per game than Charlotte with a positive goal differential, having scored 17 and allowed 16.

Columbus is led by M Lucas Zelarayán, who has 4 goals on the season. The 2021 All-Star midfielder is among the best in the league. The Crew are 3-3-0 at home this season.

  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[tipico]

Prediction

Columbus 2, Charlotte 1

Money line (ML)

BET COLUMBUS -116.

Against Eastern Conference teams with a negative goal differential, the Crew are 3-1-1.

They’re 2-1-0 in those same games which are played at Lower.com Field, taking down Toronto and DC while losing to Orlando, which sits fifth in the conference.

Also, Charlotte just hasn’t been great on the road, which can be a trend with newly formed teams. Charlotte is 0-6-1 on the road and 6-2-0 at home. Those figures are startling.

With the pace and skillset of Zelarayán coupled with how the home side has played against low-tier competition, Columbus should control this match and win outright.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-112).

Five of Charlotte’s 7 home games have been over this total and 4 of the 7 have resulted in a 2-1 win for their opponent. Their last 2 road matches ended with a 2-1 loss.

For the Crew, they’ve played 6 home games and have had 3 of them hit this over.

While Charlotte does sit 7th, it isn’t in the playoff picture in terms of points per game. The Crew for 3-0 O/U this total against non-playoff Eastern Conference teams.

Both teams also rank in the top half of the league in shots, which proves the opportunities should be there.

Analyzing Saturday’s Colorado Rapids vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

Charlotte FC (3 wins, 5 losses, 0 draws) visit DGS Park Saturday to take on the Colorado Rapids (2-3-2). Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Colorado Rapids vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Charlotte FC has actually performed well this season for a team in its first year. However, its road struggles are notable. It has zero road victories in four tries and has been outscored 9-2 in those games.

Charlotte is led by 25-year-old Polish F Karol Świderski who has 4 goals on the season.

Colorado has struggled since finishing atop the Western Conference last season. However, the Rapids have yet to lose at home and have outscored opponents 6-1 at DSG Park.

They have lost two straight games though, falling in back-to-back 3-1 losses at FC Dallas and Minnesota United. The Rapids are led by 28-year-old Chilean F Diego Rubio.

  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[tipico]

Prediction

Colorado 2, Charlotte 0

Money line (ML)

PASS.

There’s not a ton of value on the money line as you could probably tell from above.

Charlotte has been awful on the road while Colorado has typically handled business at home. I don’t see that pattern changing in this one, so the odds to get Colorado to win aren’t good enough to suggest.

The Rapids -1 (+135) would be a more reasonable wager.

Considering Charlotte has lost two of its four road games by 2 goals or more it may be worth a shot. Both of Colorado’s home wins have also both been by more than one goal.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the UNDER 2.5 (-108).

Charlotte has cooled off as of late because of its struggles offensively, scoring just 3 goals in its last two games. That bodes well for the Rapids who have struggled defensively.

The Rapids and their opponent had gone under 2.5 goals in three straight games but have missed it in their last two outings because they’ve allowed 3 goals in each. They haven’t scored 2 or more in their last four performances.

Charlotte’s offense isn’t nearly at the level of FC Dallas, and the inaugural franchise will be on the road where it’s struggled. It wouldn’t be shocking to see Charlotte held scoreless here.

Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

Charlotte FC (1 win, 3 losses, 0 draws) hosts FC Cincinnati (2-2-0) Saturday at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

In its inaugural season, Charlotte FC won its first game last weekend, defeating the Revolution 3-1. Coming into that match, Charlotte was 0-3 and 0-1 at home.

Charlotte is led by Polish F Karol Świderski, who has 2 goals on the season. Charlotte, which is 12th on the table, has scored 4 goals and allowed 7 so far.

As for FC Cincinnati, it has rebounded nicely after a disastrous 5-0 loss to Austin FC to open the season. FCC has won 2 straight games, defeating Orlando City SC 2-1 in Orlando and beating Inter Miami 3-1 at home.

Cincinnati’s F Brandon Vazquez has 4 goals and is tied with Los Angeles FC F Carlos Vela and Columbus F Lucas Zelarayán for the MLS lead. FCC has scored 5 goals, all in the last 2 games, and allowed 8 this season.

FCC is eighth on the Eastern Conference table.

Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati: Odds, picks and predictions

  • Money line: Charlotte FC +111 (bet $100 to win $111) | FC Cincinnati +245 (bet $100 to win $245) | Draw +245
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[tipico]

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, Charlotte FC 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN to CINCINNATI (+245).

FCC has been the hotter team and is coming off a home win. It has won 2 straight and is getting a lofty value on the road. It beat Orlando City on the road 2 weeks ago, so it can win outside of TQL Stadium

As for Charlotte, while it is also coming off a win, New England had more shots and as many shots on goal. Charlotte also has the 10th-worst duel percentage, so it doesn’t win many 50-50 balls.

Charlotte allowed 21 shots in its second game of the season against the LA Galaxy and has had as many or fewer shots in all four of its games.

Given Charlotte’s inability to limit shots and Cincinnati having won 2 straight, I’d prefer to side with the road team, which offers a far better value.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN to the OVER 2.5 (-112).

While I don’t have any extremely strong bets here, I do like the OVER 2.5 (-112) as the best bet in this game. The key here is both defenses have struggled this season.

For starters, neither team has had a clean sheet yet, so there is certainly a chance that each side gets on the board.

FC Cincinnati has allowed the fifth-most opponents’ goals (8) so far this season, while Charlotte (7) is tied for 10th. As for the attacks, both teams have been as impressive as either could have been so far as well.

Charlotte ranks fifth in shots on target, while FC Cincinnati ranks ninth. Again, FCC has tallied 5 goals in its last two games, while Charlotte has netted 4.

Expect both teams to get ample opportunities in this match.
