Playing in their first-ever MLS home playoff game, Charlotte FC will try to stave off elimination when they host Orlando City in game two of that best-of-three series on Friday at Bank of America Stadium.
A goal in each half last weekend enabled the Lions to win the opening match of this series 2-0 at Inter & Co Stadium, giving them an opportunity to advance into the next round on Friday.
We say: Charlotte FC 1-0 Orlando City
Charlotte posted nine clean sheets at home during the regular season, and we believe their normally rock-solid backline and strong transitional play at home will allow them to stay alive and force a decisive game three.

Facing elimination, the Colorado Rapids will host an MLS playoff game for the first time since 2021 when they welcome the Los Angeles Galaxy to Dick’s Sporting Good Park on Friday in Commerce City.
Game one of this best-of-three series was all Galaxy, as they came away with a 5-0 triumph over the Burgundy Boys at Dignity Health Sports Park.
We say: Colorado Rapids 1-4 Los Angeles Galaxy (Los Angeles wins the series)
There are too many attacking weapons that the Galaxy can call upon, and plenty of glaring defensive issues surrounding the Rapids right now, so it is hard for us to envision the Burgundy shutting down LA on Friday.
