When playing at home, they have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 league matches there with no losses in that span. Their defense has been great as they have only allowed 1 goal in their 4 league matches there, and their attack has been great as they have scored at least 3 goals in 4 of their last 5 home matches in MLS. They are in great form right now playing their 3rd straight match at home and they are going to have a lot of confidence here as they push to secure their playoff spot in this final stretch of the season. They are going up against a Charlotte side that has not been in good form in their recent matches. They have lost their last 2 straight with no wins in their 3 matches since the Leagues Cup, and their attack has been struggling with only 2 goals scored in their last 3 matches. They do not have a win in their last 3 straight away matches in the MLS, coming off of a 2-1 loss to Montreal in their last match as well. These two sides are trending in opposite directions right now with Orlando playing much better in every way. Orlando will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
