Charlotte Eagles vs. Bermuda Hogges
The Charlotte Eagles will be playing their last regular season home match on Friday, August 10th, hosting the Bermuda Hogges. The Eagles have clinched a playoff berth, but the result of this weekends' games will determine the final seeding. Kickoff for the Eagles home game at Waddell Stadium is slated for 7:00 pm.
Charlotte faced Bermuda earlier this season in Bermuda and came away with a 4-1 victory over the Hogges. A win and well played game for Charlotte on August 10th would be a nice boost for the Eagles after a tough road trip last weekend, and with playoffs just around the corner. The Bermuda Hogges are at the bottom of the USL-2 standings and have no chance at playoffs, but strong a finish could turn around a rough season. The Hogges play their last four games on the road over a nine day period and can move up in the standings.
