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 struggling badly (1W 4L 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.

In 9 previous meetings, Charlotte lead 3–5 with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in CF Montreal won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Charlotte clear favorites, but CF Montreal have shown they can grind out results. Expect Charlotte to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
