Charlotte FC vs. Cincinnati (Saturday, 9.00pm)
FC Cincinnati have an opportunity to win three consecutive matches for the first time in franchise history when they battle the newest club in Major League Soccer, Charlotte FC, on Saturday at Bank of America Stadium.
Charlotte claimed their first ever MLS victory last week, beating the New England Revolution 3-1, while The Orange-and-Blue disposed of Inter Miami by that same score.
We say: Charlotte FC 1-2 FC Cincinnati
Given all of the emotional highs that Charlotte experienced a week ago, it could lead to a bit of a letdown for them on Saturday, as they face a side in good form with a dangerous striker making the most of his opportunities in front of goal.

Kansas vs. Salt Lake (Saturday, 11.00pm)
On Saturday, Sporting Kansas City will have revenge on their mind when they host Real Salt Lake in Major League Soccer action at Children's Mercy Park.
RSL shocked KC in the 2021 postseason, scoring twice in the final 18 minutes plus stoppage time, winning 2-1 and ending the Wizards hope of a third MLS Cup.
We say: Sporting Kansas City 1-2 Real Salt Lake
Injuries have decimated these teams early on this year, but it has been RSL who have found a way to rise above it, while KC have crumbled.
Even though there has been an element of good fortune to their early success, Salt Lake still look a lot more dynamic going forward than the Wizards, who have been rather predictable.
