Charlotte FC will try to avoid a second straight loss to a struggling opponent when they visit D.C. United on Saturday in their final away match of the MLS regular season.

Charlotte (17-13-2, 53 points) already has qualified for its third consecutive postseason following a MLS record-tying nine-match league winning streak that stretched from mid-July to mid-September.
