CF Montreal will host Charlotte at Saputo Stadium on Wednesday in the 24th round of the 2026 Major League Soccer campaign. A victory this midweek would provide a much-needed silver lining in what has otherwise been a difficult year for the hosts, who currently sit bottom of the Eastern Conference.
Montreal put up a spirited fight in the first half but were completely overrun after the break, conceding in the 57th and 75th minutes of Saturday’s 2-0 defeat away to the Philadelphia Union, which took their tally for the season to 12 losses from 23 league games.
Thanks for the submission!
Philippe Eullaffroy’s men have won just one of their last 12 league matches, a dismal run of form that has seen the Canadian side slip to 29th place in the MLS and leaves them on course for one of their worst-ever league finishes in the American top flight.
Charlotte, on the other hand, will head into Wednesday’s game in good spirits after managing to remain unbeaten in their last five outings and could finish the matchday as high as fifth in the combined league table.
The visitors did well to earn a point in their goalless draw with Houston Dynamo last time out despite being reduced to 10 men in the 71st minute and will fancy their chances as they make the trip across the border to face a struggling side.
CF Montreal vs Charlotte Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- The sides have met on eight previous occasions heading into Wednesday’s matchup. Montreal have won five of those games, one match ended in a draw, while Charlotte have won the remaining two.

CF Montreal vs Charlotte Prediction
Montreal will have their work cut out for them if they are to avoid defeat on Wednesday and can only hope to draw some confidence from their dominant record in this fixture and home advantage.
We are backing Charlotte to get the win on the back of their much better recent form. However, the visitors will need to improve on their unconvincing away record or risk being held to a draw.
Prediction: CF Montreal 1-2 Charlotte
