Charlotte FC is preparing for a significant match against the New York Red Bulls at Bank of America Stadium this Sunday. The team is currently on a six-match winning streak in Major League Soccer, which is the longest active run in the league and tied for the fifth-longest in MLS history.

While the Red Bulls have had an advantage in the overall series, Charlotte FC has remained unbeaten in all three home matches against them, outscoring the visitors 4-2 during those games. The team’s strong performance at home is further highlighted by their nine clean sheets in their last 16 regular-season home matches and a total of 27 shutouts in 64 all-time MLS home games. In 2025, Charlotte FC has scored multiple goals in nine of their last 12 home matches, reflecting both defensive strength and attacking consistency.

Since striker Patrick Agyemang’s departure, Idan Toklomati has become a key player for Charlotte FC, scoring six goals in his last ten league appearances and seven across his last twelve matches in all competitions. His recent contributions include a match-winning goal against Real Salt Lake.

Designated Player Wilfried Zaha has also been influential, contributing either a goal or assist in nine of the last ten matches and twelve of the last sixteen. Over his past fifteen games, Zaha has recorded five goals and nine assists, bringing his season total to sixteen goal contributions. He ranks second in MLS for fouls suffered with eighty-two, frequently drawing set-piece opportunities for his team.

Charlotte FC’s current home record stands at ten wins, two draws, and one loss—the best in the league—while the New York Red Bulls have only managed one win away from home this season with a record of one win, eight losses, and four draws.

The club recently strengthened its roster following the close of the summer transfer window. English defender Harry Toffolo made his debut as a substitute against Real Salt Lake. Additionally, goalkeeper Drake Callender and Australian striker Archie Goodwin have joined Charlotte FC to add depth to the squad.

Head coach Dean Smith will look to maintain Charlotte’s strong form at Bank of America Stadium as they aim to extend their historic winning streak.
