With both teams vying for points in an increasingly congested Eastern Conference table, Saturday's match-up has all the makings of a statement game for two clubs eager to define themselves as playoff contenders.

For Charlotte FC, home-field advantage has been a cornerstone of their campaign. The Crown have turned Bank of America Stadium into one of the more imposing venues for an away team, going 6-2-1 in competitions this season, and looking to continue their home success as they host NYCFC.

Charlotte FC's Pep Biel, who recently had his loan extended through the end of the season, raised his goal contribution tally to 16, with seven goals and nine assists on the season. Following his two-goal contribution in the Orlando City match, the Spanish midfielder was named to the MLS Team of the Matchday for the third time this season.

He will be a player to watch on Saturday, as Biel currently sits tied for the club's single-season record of goal contributions in MLS regular season play, which was set by Swiderski in 2022 and 2023.
