Charlotte FC is set to host San Diego FC at Bank of America Stadium, marking the first-ever meeting between the two youngest clubs in the league. Charlotte FC comes to the match with a strong home record, having won all four of their home games this season. San Diego FC, the newest addition to Major League Soccer, has shown promise in their inaugural season, currently sitting third in the Western Conference with a 4-2-2 record.   

One of the key players to watch for Charlotte FC is Pep Biel, who has become a creative force in the midfield with three goals and five assists so far this season. His vision and set-piece ability continue to be a major threat to opposing defenses. Another standout is striker Patrick Agyemang, whose pace and strength have helped Charlotte break down compact backlines. For San Diego FC, keep an eye on Anders Dreyer, who leads the expansion side with three goals and two assists, showcasing both sharp finishing and smart positioning. Midfielder Santiago Cartagena is also emerging as a steady presence, linking defense and attack with composure beyond his years. With both teams pushing for points, these players could be the difference makers in this exciting first-time matchup.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 PM EDT and will be broadcast on Apple TV+ via the MLS Season Pass.  Fans attending the game can expect a competitive encounter as Charlotte aims to maintain their perfect home record against a formidable San Diego side.
