Carolina Core desperately need points on Sunday, Jul 26 at 1:30 AM in the MLS Next Pro. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Carolina Core come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Chicago Fire FC II, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Carolina Core head into this on the back of a defeat, while Chicago Fire FC II arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Carolina Core and Chicago Fire FC II have split their 4 meetings almost evenly (1W–2D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Carolina Core won 2–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Carolina Core a slight edge, but Chicago Fire FC II are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
