Charlotte FC - CF Montreal

Can Charlotte FC rediscover their defensive composure as they host CF Montreal on 28 October 2026 for matchday 32? The home side enters this contest at Bank of America Stadium looking to move past a recent 3-2 defeat against Portland Timbers. The expected XI for Charlotte features a forward line of Liel Abada, Idan Toklomati, and Rodolfo Aloko, supported by the midfield trio of Djibril Diani, Pep Biel, and Ashley Westwood. They will need to navigate the absence of the injured Will Cleary and Brandt Bronico to secure a result.

CF Montreal arrives under pressure after a 2-0 loss to Nashville SC, struggling to find consistency in recent weeks. With Jalen Neal, Brayan Ceballos, and Prince Osei Owusu sidelined, the visitors will look to Alexis Sanchez and Dante Sealy to lead the attack. Having lost 2-1 to Charlotte in their most recent meeting on 9 September 2026, Montreal faces a significant challenge in this Major League Soccer encounter.
