Bitesize Prediction: Charleston vs North Carolina – 06/07/25

Competition: USL

Market: Charleston win

Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet

Looking to move within touching distance of top spot in the Eastern Conference standings, Charleston will welcome North Carolina to Mount Pleasant on Sunday night.

Starting with the hosts, crowned as USL champions last season following what was a record-breaking romp, Charleston are desperate to defend their title in 2025. Currently sat second in the Eastern Conference standings, Ben Pirmann’s men will know the importance of laying down another statement of intent here. Despite eventually being forced to settle for a 0-0 stalemate away at Birmingham last time out, the Battery have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 12 consecutive USL appearances – a run that stems all the way back to March 29th. Likewise, last seen in front of their own supporters storming their way to an eye-catching 4-1 romp against Phoenix, Sunday’s hosts have rightfully gained a reputation for their extended dominance on home soil. In fact, Charleston have won seven of their previous eight showdowns in Mount Pleasant across all competitions. Smelling a potential opportunity this weekend, it should also be highlighted that Pitman’s camp have notched a quartet of goals in four of their last five matchups at the Patriots Point Soccer Complex.

As for the visitors, making an immediate return to losing ways last weekend as they eventually fell to a 1-0 loss away at Louisville while in USL Cup action, North Carolina will be bracing themselves for another stern examination here. Despite being sat firmly in the driving seat to punch their own respective play-off ticket this season, John Bradford’s men have shown some recent issues on the road. Including a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Rhode Island last month, Sunday’s guests have suffered consecutive losses away from the WakeMed Soccer Park for the first time since opening up the 2025 campaign. Likewise, pencilled in as a real underdog contender when they travel to the defending USL champions this weekend, North Carolina should also be concerned by what is a nightmare record in Mount Pleasant. Including a routine 2-0 defeat when they travelled to Charleston back on February 15th, they have lost all of their previous six straight trips to the Patriots Point Soccer Complex by an aggregate score of 15-5.
