Charlotte FC is poised to secure their first away victory of the season as they head to face CF Montréal for the Canadian team’s home opener. Until now, CF Montréal’s season has been challenging, with a current record of zero wins, but they aim to leverage their home field advantage at Stade Saputo.
Scheduled for Saturday, April 12 at 7:30 p.m. ET, the match will be available for viewing via the MLS Season Pass on Apple TV. Listeners can tune into WFNZ 92.7 FM for English commentary or WOLS 106.1 FM for Spanish.
CF Montréal, after starting the season with seven consecutive road matches, comes home with an interim head coach, Marco Donadel. Despite a rocky start, their past record of 8-2-3 in home openers at Stade Saputo gives them hope. The team also maintains an undefeated record in home openers at their current stadium since 2019 and leads in matches against Charlotte FC with a 4-1-1 record.
Prince Owusu, signed from Toronto FC, has become CF Montréal’s leading goal contributor, participating in all of their matches this season. Meanwhile, Pep Biel of Charlotte FC is nearing a club milestone with his assists and leads the league in this category. Another player on the rise for Charlotte is Idan Toklomati, who recently scored a crucial goal against Nashville.
Charlotte FC has struggled with consistency in away matches, a point their coach Dean Smith acknowledged, emphasizing the need for improved teamwork and execution. With Wilfried Zaha unavailable, the team will rely on their midfield, particularly Biel, to drive their offensive efforts.
This contest, appearing one-sided in the standings, remains unpredictable, with both teams eager to gain momentum amid the home fans.
