Orlando City desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 31 at 6:00 PM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Charlotte come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Orlando City travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Charlotte face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Orlando City have won 4 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Charlotte won 1–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Charlotte a slight edge, but Orlando City are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
