We said: Seattle Sounders 2-0 Charlotte FC
As surprising as Charlotte have been through the first 13 games of the season, they have yet to show that they can do anything more than keep a match close away from home. The Sounders know that the schedule over the next few weeks is in their favour, and one thing about this club is that they rarely miss an opportunity presented to them. Read more.Data Analysis
