Charlotte FC looks to continue their excellent home form as they welcome CF Montreal to Bank of America Stadium.

Since a loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy in their first-ever match, CLTFC have won four straight at home, having conceded just once in that span.

Montreal have been one of the hottest teams in MLS, currently on a seven-match unbeaten run, scoring 18 goals in that stretch as they sit third in the Eastern Conference standings.

Ones to watch

Yordy Reyna (Charlotte FC)

He was the driving force behind Charlotte's U.S. Open Cup victory, scoring once and registering three assists in a 5-1 victory over USL League One side Richmond.

Djordje Mihailovic (CF Montreal)

If it weren't for Sebastian Driussi, the Serbian-born American would be the runaway MVP at this point, having scored five goals while also contributing four assists and being at the heart of everything Montreal does.
