This will be the first meeting between Charlotte FC and Inter Miami. This will also be the first time Miami has faced an expansion side while not being in their first season themselves.
Charlotte returns home after taking one point from three away matches. Charlotte has won three straight home matches, as nine of its 10 points this season have come at Bank of America Stadium.
Inter Miami’s three-match winning streak ended with a 2-0 loss at the Revolution on Saturday. Miami has scored only eight goals in its last 18 away matches, failing to score more than once in any of those games.
The first goal has decided each of the nine matches in which there was one scored for Charlotte this season, as its gone on to win all three matches in which it scored first and lost all six in which it conceded first (one 0-0 draw).
All nine of Inter Miami’s goals this season have been scored from inside the box despite a league-high 50.0 percent of its shots coming from outside (53/106). Jean Mota has attempted an MLS-high 22 shots from outside the box, while his 25 total shots are the most of any player without a goal this MLS season.
