Bottom-of-the-table Montreal, winless after seven games with just four goals scored all season, face a critical turning point as they host Charlotte at Saputo Stadium this Saturday night.
Charlotte enter the clash riding high after a dramatic comeback victory against Nashville, though their road form remains questionable with just one away win since July 2024.
The stage is set for what could be either Montreal's season revival or another statement victory for Charlotte as the struggling home team clashes with the surging away team.

Montreal vs. Charlotte preview
Montreal's dismal start to the 2025 MLS season continues as they sit rock-bottom in the Eastern Conference, still searching for their first win after seven games and just two points to show for their efforts.
Their attacking woes are particularly concerning, having netted just four goals while conceding twelve - something Charlotte FC will surely look to exploit at Stade Saputo this Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, are flying high in fourth place with four wins from seven matches and could potentially claim top spot in the East with a victory.
Dean Smith's men showed tremendous character in their last outing, staging a dramatic comeback against Nashville with Wilfried Zaha and Idan Toklomati Jorno scoring in the final five minutes to secure a 2-1 win.
Pep Biel has been Charlotte's creative spark, contributing to seven of their twelve goals this season, and he'll be the one to watch against Montreal's leaky defense.
Charlotte's road form is a concern though - they haven't won away in five league games and have just one victory in their last eleven travels since July 2024.
The hosts might take some comfort in their home record against Charlotte, who've failed to win in their last six visits to Saputo Stadium, losing five and drawing once since May 2022.
Given Montreal's struggles and Charlotte's momentum, I'm expecting the visitors to break their Saputo Stadium curse and pile more misery on Marco Donadel's men.
