Team News

Charlotte FC
Columbus
  • Brandt Bronico and Ben Bender continue to be out.
  • Brandon Cambridge is off crutches but is still quite a bit away from returning to the squad.
  • Enzo Copetti is a doubt with a thigh injury.
  • Kerwin Vargas was injured in the last match and wasn't training this week.
  • Jere Uronen and Liel Abada are both on international duty.
  • Alexandru Matan is dealing with a thigh issue and is questionable for this match.
  • Patrick Schulte, Aidan Morris, Nicholas Hagen, Taha Habroune and Jacen Russell-Rowe are all on international duty.

Prediction

  • Charlotte have the injury bug, as key players Enzo Copetti and Kerwin Vargas are both sidelined. After starting the season with a victory, Charlotte have been brought back down to Earth. A home matchup against the reigning champions should be another tough task.
  • The task will be slightly easier than normal as Columbus will be without two key starters, Patrick Schulte and Aiden Morris. Even without several guys, Columbus will still have Cucho and Diego Rossi in the attack. This could be a close one in a tough atmosphere, as Charlotte are a tough team to face at home.
