CF Montreal desperately need points on Thursday, Oct 29 at 12:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Charlotte come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). CF Montreal travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Charlotte won their last outing, while CF Montreal suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Despite playing at home, Charlotte face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. CF Montreal have won 5 of 8 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in CF Montreal won 4–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Charlotte a slight edge, but CF Montreal are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
