Charlotte FC is on an historic run of form at home, having won six of its last seven matches in all competitions. This includes a Club-record five straight wins at home, with three of those coming in the league at Bank of America Stadium and two at Matthews Sportsplex in U.S. Open Cup.
CLTFC have been nearly unplayable when they have one of the best home environments in the league behind them. Even on the road, the players had energy to draw from; there were over 1,200 Charlotte supporters making the 4-hour drive to rival Atlanta United for the 3-1 victory last week.
Brandon Cambridge, the star man on Wednesday with a match-winning brace, was full of praise for the support from the fans in his post-match interviews.
“Our fans are the best in MLS. I mean, they’re great. Last weekend, they were down in Atlanta with us, and they were louder than the whole stadium,” said the 21-year-old winger. “Being able to get these two goals and get the win for them, it made me proud inside and happy to give the fans what they really deserve.”
This will be the team’s last chance to play in front of a raucous home crowd before a grueling 4-game road trip to end the month of May. Channeling the energy from the home supporters on Saturday will be important to sending Nashville packing with zero points.
