Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As you can see, our prediction for Sunday's match is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Charlotte and Chicago to score 3 goals or more combined during the traditional 90 mins. 2 goals or fewer would mean the time doesn't win but, with stats below suggesting there will be plenty of firepower on the pitch, we think it could well be a winner.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Charlotte are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 46% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.05.
