Charlotte FC vs New York City FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 13 July 2025

Last five games: WLLLD

Without their two most valuable players, Zaha and Agyemang, Charlotte FC settled for a share of the spoils against Orlando City. Dean Smith’s side's disappointing streak ended when both teams scored two goals apiece at the Bank of America Stadium last week. Pep Biel opened the scoreboard when he found the back of the net in the 40th minute, taking his tally to seven in MLS this campaign. The second half began with Charlotte FC asking lots of questions, and Bill Tuiloma scored the second goal for his side. Leading with two goals for almost seventy minutes, their inconsistency at the back set in, as Charlotte FC conceded twice. It was a devastating performance as they nearly lost the game, despite being in control for a larger period.

The (2-2) stalemate halted their three consecutive losses against Chicago, Kansas City, and Philadelphia. 

Charlotte FC have been struggling lately and have recorded just a win in their last six MLS matches, sitting in tenth place on the Eastern Conference table. Dean Smith’s comrades have picked up twenty-six (26) points from a combined sixty-three (63), scoring thirty-four (34) and conceding thirty-six (36).

Charlotte FC have been one of the best sides at home this season, winning six of their last nine home games. 

Charlotte FC Lineup

Star striker Patrick Agyemang, who was on international duty with the USA, will start this game. Moreover, Charlotte FC will play New York City FC with almost all the players fully recovered, including Wilfred Zaha. 

Charlotte FC Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Kristijan Kahlina—Rutty, Andrew Privett, Adilson Malanda, Nicholas Scardina—Brandt Bronico, Ashley Westwood—Wilfried Zaha, Djibril Diani, Liel Abada—Jorno

The Boys in Blue moved up on the MLS standings following their emphatic victory over Toronto FC. New York City FC were electric throughout their time against their opponent. Hannes Wolf broke the deadlock in the 20th minute, giving his side a deserved halftime advantage. The second half got the same attention, as New York City FC doubled their lead through Ilenic’s goal. Romero put the ball in his net to endanger his side's cruise control. Fortunately, Kevin restored the confidence when he found the back of the net minutes later. It ended in a total domination by New York City FC, scoring three times and conceding once against Toronto FC. 

NY City have now picked up seven points from their last five games, scoring nine and conceding seven. Their most recent victory was a decent performance, and hopefully, they will build on the momentum. 

New York City FC has been one of the worst teams on the road, as they have won just one game of their previous nine away games. The Boys in Blue sit in seventh spot on the log, having accumulated thirty-one points from a combined sixty. 

New York City Lineup

The Boys in Blue welcome the return of experienced goalkeeper, Matthew Freese, who was on International duty. The American return is perfect timing, especially after watching Romero make a costly mistake in their last game. 

New York City Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Mattew Freese—Risa, Haak, Martins, Tanasijevic—Moralez, Perea—Wolf, Fernandes, Ojeda—Aloso Martinez 

Out: Jones, Sands, Parks

Head coach: Mehdi Ballouchy

Charlotte FC vs New York City FC match prediction 13 July 2025

New York City FC were pretty decent in their most recent encounter in the league, reviving themselves against Toronto FC. They dominated the game from the start to the end, and they’ll be keen to maintain such momentum against their opponent later this weekend. 

Charlotte FC are back on their feet, although it was a stalemate against a solid Orlando City side. Both teams played well, but Charlotte lost control at the back, which almost cost them the maximum points. 

Charlotte FC have been the one at the top in recent meetings against Patrick Agyemang, and the return of star striker Patrick Agyemang with Wilfred Zaha will boost their confidence on their ground. Despite their inconsistency, Charlotte FC have always shown class on their turf, but they must be careful against a fully prepared New York City FC. 

The guests have had a terrible run on the road, but they will at least fight for a point against Charlotte FC, who can be vulnerable at the back. Both teams will be keen to amass all the points, but one thing is for sure: this game won’t deny us goals.
