Charlotte FC Look to Keep Home Perfection Intact vs Revolution
The Queen City is quickly becoming one of the toughest places for opponents to visit, and Charlotte FC are ready to defend their home turf once again.
On Saturday night, Charlotte (6-2-1, 19 points) hosts the New England Revolution with an opportunity to extend their perfect home record to six straight wins.
Under second-year coach Dean Smith, Charlotte has outscored visitors 13-2 at Bank of America Stadium, turning it into an MLS fortress.

The Crown Continues to Shine at Home
Charlotte’s latest win—a 3-0 rout of San Diego FC—showcased the team’s dynamic attack and relentless pressure.
Goals from Liel Abada, Patrick Agyemang, and Andrew Privett put an exclamation mark on their fifth home victory of 2024.
Still, with only one road win so far, there’s skepticism about whether Charlotte can truly challenge powers like Inter Miami and the Columbus Crew atop the Eastern Conference.
Coach Smith, however, isn’t losing sleep over critics:
“Continue being skeptical,” Smith said. “It bothers me not one iota. I’m just happy having my group of players do what they do, looking to get better, looking to improve.”

Charlotte’s Attack Getting Stronger
Four Charlotte players have scored multiple goals this season, including rising stars Abada and Agyemang, giving the Crown a balanced and potent offense.
Adding depth, Charlotte recently acquired defender Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty on loan from CF Montreal during the MLS Primary Transfer Window deadline. However, he will miss Saturday’s clash due to visa processing delays.
Charlotte’s aggressive approach and squad depth continue to make them one of the East’s dark horses.

Revolution Look to Build on Breakthrough Performance
The New England Revolution (3-4-1, 10 points) arrive in Charlotte after finding some offensive spark.
In last week’s 2-0 win over NYCFC, offseason signings Leonardo Campana and Ignatius Ganago scored their first goals for the club, marking the first non-Carles Gil goals of the season for New England.
Despite the victory, the Revs still rank near the bottom in scoring, with just six goals in eight matches (one via an own goal).
Coach Caleb Porter knows that while breaking the goal drought was encouraging, consistency is key:
“Really, you would hope that one unlocks everything, but it just depends on the next game,” Porter said. “If the players unlock the floodgates, then they will unlock it.”
Defense Still the Foundation for Both Clubs
Despite offensive inconsistencies, both teams boast impressive defensive records:
- Charlotte, Columbus, and New England are tied for second-fewest goals conceded in the East (7).
- Each squad relies on compact, organized defensive structures to limit opposing chances.
With both sides priding themselves on defense, expect Saturday’s match to feature a mix of gritty battles and moments of brilliance from rising stars.
