Defensive Solidity
Charlotte deploy 4 defenders rated 6.55 on average, against San Jose Earthquakes's 4-man backline averaging 6.92. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Passing & Build-Up
Passing accuracy averages 85% for Charlotte and 75% for San Jose Earthquakes. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.
Discipline
Charlotte's starters have collected 23 yellow cards this season, compared to 10 for San Jose Earthquakes. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Romney (32)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.
Squad Depth
Charlotte's starters average 13 league appearances each, versus 13 for San Jose Earthquakes. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out.
