Charlotte hope to hold on to a place in the MLS play-offs by picking up a third straight win when they visit Inter Miami this week. The North Carolina team are seventh in the Eastern Conference, having climbed into the play-offs with wins against Houston Dynamo and Nashville.
They take on a Miami team struggling for form, having picked up just one point from their last three matches to leave them just four points off bottom spot.

Inter Miami vs Charlotte preview
Just four points separate these teams heading into this tie, but Charlotte are in slightly better shape.
With two wins in a row, they have propelled themselves into the top seven, while their Florida opponents have dropped to 11th in the Eastern Conference with two straight defeats.
However, Charlotte's away form may explain why they are not the big favourites to get the win, as they have won just one and drawn two of their 10 matches on the road in MLS.
Plus, they are without 19-year-old left-back Adam Armour and Vinicius Mello, who has not featured since his arrival in January.
Inter Miami are missing just one player, Robbie Robinson, who has been out of action since May.
