Charlotte Eagles vs West Virginia tips and predictions

Charlotte Eagles can resist West Virginia challenge

The home team's front three have looked good. They could be poised to continue in their rich vein of form. It's odds-on for at least a few goals so this could be a barnstormer even if the match odds look pretty much spot on.

With 13 points Charlotte Eagles will host West Virginia, on 12 points. There's just 2 places between the two USL League Two clubs.

Tread carefully when assessing this one but Charlotte Eagles can ease past West Virginia.

Whether it's significant or not, Charlotte Eagles might have reasons to be confident about adding to West Virginia's recent defeats. Adversity has gradually been building up for this away squad over their last 6 fixtures. They've been beaten 4 times during these 6 starts. Obviously they've had different opposition but that doesn't appear to be the record of a team that has had the right preparation for this.

The hosts are making the most of a recent purple patch with plenty of reasons for confidence. Charlotte Eagles scored two or more goals in 15 of their recent 20 matches.

West Virginia have gone through some tough times recently. They've conceded three or more goals in all of their last 3 matches. Their critics will say all is not well. At times the visitors have stuttered to put away their chances. They've been goalless in 3 of their last 5 away matches.

Charlotte Eagles have won 3 of the last 4 fixtures between these sides before this one.

A more pessimistic view is that they may end up in deadlock. The sportsbooks are expecting goals at both ends of the park as they can both be dangerous in front of goal. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks slightly more tempting.
