In my opinion Charlotte have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.

If You look on the bigger picture, Charlotte not plays worse than Columbus so far in current season. Charlotte have 54% average ball possession, Columbus 51.3%. Charlotte kept clean sheet 5 times in current season, Columbus only 3. Shots on target per game? Charlotte have 4.5, Columbus have 3.5.

In last round Charlotte recorded 2:0 home win against strong NY Red Bulls and that was fully deserved result: expected goals scored for Charlotte 2.07, for Red Bulls 0.57. Charlotte don't have any new absences. There is possibility of comeback to the first squad for key defender Christian Fuchs.

Columbus is in poor form in long period of time - since middle of March they recorded only two wins in 12 matches in all competitions. In last round they won 2:1 on away against Atlanta, but that wasn't deserved win at all: expected goals scored for Atlanta 2.07, for Columbus 0.80. In addition to that Columbus have huge squad problems before today's match up. They are without top scorer Zelarayan, key winger Yeboah (played in all matches in current), key central midfielder Artur (played in all matches in current season), key left defender Pedro (played in all matches in current season, assist in last match), key central defender Mensah (played in all matches in current season, goal in last match). It's huge blow for the team and should have very bad impact on their performance today.

On those circumstances Charlotte looks like super value!

在我看来，夏洛特真的有很好的机会在今天的比赛中取得至少一分。

如果你从更大的角度来看，夏洛特在本赛季到目前为止的表现并不比哥伦布差。夏洛特的平均控球率为54%，哥伦布为51.3%。夏洛特在本赛季5次保持零封，哥伦布只有3次。场均射正?夏洛特有4.5分，哥伦布有3.5分。

上一轮夏洛特主场2:0战胜强大的纽约红牛，这是完全应得的结果:夏洛特的预期进球数为2.07，红牛为0.57。夏洛特没有新的缺勤。主力后卫克里斯蒂安-福克斯有可能重返一线队。

哥伦布在很长一段时间内都处于糟糕的状态——自3月中旬以来，他们在各项赛事的12场比赛中只取得了两场胜利。上一轮，他们客场2:1战胜亚特兰大，但这根本不是他们应得的胜利:亚特兰大的预期进球数为2.07，哥伦布为0.80。此外，在今天的比赛之前，哥伦布还有很大的阵容问题。他们没有头号射手塞拉拉扬，关键边锋耶博阿(当前赛季所有比赛)，关键中场阿图尔(当前赛季所有比赛)，关键左后卫佩德罗(当前赛季所有比赛，上一场比赛助攻)，关键中卫门萨(当前赛季所有比赛，上一场比赛进球)。这对球队是一个巨大的打击，应该会对他们今天的表现产生非常糟糕的影响。

在这种情况下，夏洛特看起来超值!
