Battle #3 in Round 1 of the 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs is set to take place, with Charlotte FC facing Orlando in a decisive match. Following a challenging start in match one, Charlotte FC rebounded with a strong performance in match two. Captain Ashley Westwood described their initial outing as "one of their worst performances."

Charlotte now carries momentum into Orlando for this crucial encounter. The team's strategy will involve increasing pressure on Orlando, replicating the tactics that worked effectively in the previous game. Patrick Agyemang's presence was pivotal, forcing Orlando's defense into a more conservative stance and allowing Charlotte to capitalize on opportunities.

Orlando faces a must-win situation, similar to Charlotte's position earlier. The aim for Charlotte is to disrupt Orlando's backline once more and create space for their attacking plays. Adilson Malanda highlighted energy as the key factor in their recent success, emphasizing the importance of maintaining high intensity throughout the match.

Kerwin Vargas played a significant role defensively in match two, inspiring his teammates with his commitment. Maintaining such energy levels will be essential for Charlotte as they face the challenge of playing away from home.

Charlotte supporters have consistently shown dedication by traveling to support their team throughout the season. Their presence will be vital again as they rally behind Charlotte FC during this important playoff fixture.
