Home cooking normally favors Charlotte FC on Friday night. Through 17 home matches, Charlotte enjoyed the best home record in the MLS with a 13-3-1 mark. Now, of course, the one team that gave them the most fits was NYCFC. One had to see this coming after Game 1. NYCFC jumped out to an early 1-0 lead and packed it in to win. NYCFC vs Charlotte Bets attempt to see if the boys from the Bronx can do it again.
This is because Charlotte FC found a way to extend their season. At Yankee Stadium, NYCFC had five or six glorious chance to score but Kristijan Kahlina made stop after stop. His penalty shootout saves were the difference as Charlotte FC avoided elimination. Talk about a second life or maybe eighth or ninth even.
Now, Alonso Martinez has been amazing for NYCFC. He has a flair for scoring the dramatic goal. Now, 11 of NYCFC’s 17 wins came from his foot. That includes six on the road. NYCFC’s ability to stretch the midfield out for scoring chances has been front and center in this series. Charlotte FC has mounted very little of an offensive thrust.
So, NYCFC vs Charlotte Bets comes with more questions than answers. The goal is to try and answer as many as we can for bettors.
So, NYCFC was almost a favorite on sites for good reason. It does feel like they were the more steady team. Charlotte FC had a case of the nerves especially in Game 1. Game 3 may feature more of the same. Their biggest key may be scoring early. Who are we kidding? They have to score first or the longer the game goes scoreless, the more it may favor NYCFC this time around.
Some other experts counter that NYCFC has to score first. It truly depends on who you believe. The frequency of scoring chances and flow of play favors the team from the Bronx. Goaltending is pretty much a push in this series. Matt Freese has not yielded a goal in regulation. The one wrinkle here is that if you are looking for a golden goal, that is denied. Games go to a shootout if there is a draw after 90 minutes and stoppage time.
People forget that NYCFC once upon a time won a title this way. They fought their way through the playoffs and won the 2021 MLS Cup. Ironically they won that title on penalties. There is a chance it could happen again on Friday night.
Now, both teams have a chance to advance to face the Philadelphia Union. Unfortunately for Charlotte this may be curtains. If NYCFC holds off Charlotte early, their ability to counter is a major asset in playoff soccer. NYCFC vs Charlotte bets has the team from the Bronx pulling a mild upset on Friday night.
Yes, NYCFC vs Charlotte Bets offer a few props. Okay, what could be cooking out there? Bluntly, North Carolina and Charlotte are a good home for BBQ. Also, on Friday night, it will be a good place to see some quality soccer with everything on the line. Alonso Martinez at +425 for first goalscorer and +140 for anytime goal feels like a solid bet based on how he gets behind the Charlotte defenders.
The match prop for both teams not to score still is at plus money. Seeing this at +125 given that there has been one regulation goal in the series is surprising. However, it is a risk. Looking for 0-0 and shutout results are not easy three times in a row. Sometimes teams do figure it out and sometimes they do not.
So, NYCFC is even money to score in the first half while Charlotte FC is at +105. Basically, even “Team Props” are across the board for this tilt. The exact scoreless first half draw is +145 but NYC up 1-0 at halftime is +300. Do not be shocked if this happens. Our best bet is if NYCFC scores, Martinez is all over it.
Are there more NYCFC vs Charlotte Bets? That answer is yes again. What other surprises may be lurking? Yes, it is a great question. We mentioned that halftime score for a reason. If Charlotte wins, the prevailing thought is they may have to do this from behind. Comebacks are not easy in this format but one never knows.
Stemming from that wager would be the win from behind which has Charlotte at a whopping +900. Bettors will take a flier on this one. If anyone is wondering for a classic 1-1 draw heading to penalties, that is now at -145. With plenty of options on the table, it makes for a dramatic Friday night.
