Charlotte FC (6-4-6) at New York Red Bulls (6-4-6) — Match Preview
Charlotte FC (6-4-6) travel to Red Bull Arena to face the New York Red Bulls (6-4-6) on July 25, 2026, with both sides carrying identical records into the weekend. Charlotte sit seventh in MLS while New York sit eighth, a narrow gap that leaves little separating the two clubs in the standings. Pep Biel has been the engine of Charlotte’s attack, contributing 7 goals and 7 assists across 16 appearances from midfield, while New York counters with Julian Hall’s 9 goals in 16 matches up top.
Idan Toklomati gives the visitors a second scoring outlet with 5 goals in 16 matches, forcing the Red Bulls backline to account for more than one threat. Emil Forsberg remains the creative hub for New York, setting up teammates for 6 assists in 15 matches, and his service could prove decisive if the home forwards find space in behind. Neither side reports an injury absence for this one, so both clubs should be able to field their preferred attacking pieces.

Players to Watch: Charlotte FC vs. New York Red Bulls
Charlotte FC
Pep Biel — M. Biel has quietly turned into Charlotte’s most complete attacking piece, contributing 7 goals and 7 assists across 16 appearances this season. That dual production makes him just as dangerous pulling the strings from midfield as he is finishing chances himself, and the Red Bulls will need multiple bodies tracking his runs into the box.
Idan Toklomati — F. The forward has found the net 5 times in 16 matches for Charlotte, giving the visitors a legitimate finishing threat up top. His movement off the last line has become a focal point of Charlotte’s buildup, and a clean look inside the penalty area is often enough for him to convert.
Ashley Westwood — M. Westwood’s experience shows up in the numbers, with 5 assists across 15 matches from a deeper midfield role. He’s the player Charlotte lean on to pick out the final pass, and his distribution sets the tempo whenever the visitors control possession.
New York Red Bulls
Julian Hall — F. Hall leads all scorers in this matchup with 9 goals in 16 appearances, the clearest finishing threat on either roster this weekend. He’s the target Forsberg and company look for first whenever New York breaks into open space, and Charlotte’s defense will need a plan built specifically around him.
Emil Forsberg — M. The Swedish international remains New York’s primary creative outlet, setting up 6 assists across 15 matches. His vision and delivery from midfield give the Red Bulls a different way to break down a stubborn defense, particularly when the direct route to goal is closed off.
Jorge Ruvalcaba — F. Ruvalcaba has chipped in 7 goals across 16 matches, giving New York a second scoring option alongside Hall up top. That kind of secondary production means the Red Bulls don’t have to rely on a single forward to create danger, which adds pressure on Charlotte to defend multiple points of attack.
