Charlotte vs. CF Montréal: team news and expert analysis
The North Carolina club finished fourth in the Eastern Conference last season with 59 points. However, they immediately lost to New York City FC in the playoffs. They are performing at roughly the same level this season and, seemingly after securing a playoff spot, have taken their foot off the gas in mid-autumn, starting to lose again. They also suffered defeat in their most recent round, going down 2-3 to Portland.
The Canadian side collected just 28 points in 2025 — only D.C. United had fewer. Things have not improved this season, as they are once again one of the main underdogs, with autumn bringing almost nothing but defeats. After a 1-1 draw with Seattle, they went on to lose to Nashville.
Saint-Maximin and company score 1.77 goals per game while conceding 1.55. The Canadians average 1.16 goals scored and, of course, concede considerably more — 2.0 per match.
