CF Montreal vs. Charlotte FC Betting Prediction

CF Montreal Preview

Interim bench boss Marco Donadel will have his work cut out for him taking over a side that occupies the last spot in the Eastern Conference. After drawing in his first game in charge, last weekend CF Montreal were outclassed by the Columbus Crew, losing 2-1. Inside the 90-minute frame, Montreal were outshot 11 to four while only maintaining 44 percent of the possession. 

Getting CF Montreal on the scoreboard last week, Prince Osei Owusu netted his second tally of the year. The striker's first seven starts with his new club is averaging 0.88 shots on target per 90. Previously employed by Toronto FC last year, Owusu hit the back of the net on nine occasions in MLS play. 

Still waiting to make his debut in a Montreal kit, Giacomo Vrioni has yet to lace up his boots as he’s been dealing with a groin issue. Vrioni has been taking part in group training in recent days and Montreal could use his services upfront. Before this campaign, the Albanian international spent three seasons with the New England Revolution where he cataloged 15 goals in 57 MLS outings.

Charlotte FC Preview

Dean Smith’s men claimed their fourth win of the season dramatically against Nashville SC last weekend. The Crowns scored two goals quickly in the final five minutes to overcome their one-goal deficit. With their triumph, Charlotte has now won three of their last four contests. 

Finishing as the Player of the Match, Wilfred Zaha got the ball rolling with his goal from the penalty spot in the 85th minute. Zaha’s marker was his first tally since March 1 against Atlanta United. In six MLS starts, the 32-year-old is averaging 0.83 shots on target per 90. 

After seven rounds, Pep Biel is the team’s leading contributor on offense, cataloging two goals and five assists. Biel with a key through ball pass set up the game-winner against Nashville. The on-loan product was productive in his rookie season where he tabulated two goals and three assists in 10 appearances in 2024.

CF Montreal vs. Charlotte FC - My Pick

• CF Montreal vs. Charlotte FC pick: CF Montreal draw no bet (-138) at bet365

Regardless of the mismatch in the standings between these two adversaries in this encounter, we feel CF Montreal can hang around and avoid a defeat. It was always going to be a gruelling task for Montreal to start the newly opened campaign with seven straight on the road. We have yet to see the full potential of this squad and how they can perform now that they are finally playing on home soil. Saputo Stadium has treated Montreal well since 2022, only losing on 13 occasions in 51 league matches. Meanwhile, Charlotte has proved to be a different team in away fixtures, only winning 12 road games since they joined as an expansion side in 2022. We feel on Saturday Montreal has a decent shot at getting into the win column or finishing this clash as a draw.
