"Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in a flat performance as they fell to a deserved 2-0 loss away at New York City, Charlotte will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, despite watching their sensational purple patch come to an abrupt end last weekend, Dean Smith's men should find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Skyrocketing their way up the Eastern Conference standings, the former Aston Villa boss could see his squad jump into bronze medal position here."
"although Montreal might have clinched an action-packed 3-2 victory against Austin last month, it appears that was just a minor boost for the Impact. Suffering consecutive 1-0 defeats against the New York Red Bulls and St. Louis so far this month, interim boss Marco Donadel has a major job on his hands. Sat rock-bottom of the Eastern Conference standings and rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, Sunday's guests certainly have the feel of a squad limping their way over the finishing line."
"Last seen at the Bank of America Stadium storming their way to a stunning 3-0 romp against Inter Miami, the Crown have won six of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Smelling the chance to claim an immediate boost in the early hours of Sunday, Charlotte have also gained a reputation for their extended dominance on home soil."
Charlotte FC arrive after a 2-0 defeat at New York City and will seek an immediate response under Dean Smith. The team won six of their previous seven matches and produced a 3-0 home win over Inter Miami. Charlotte have strong home form, winning three straight matches in North Carolina by an aggregate 5-0 and six of their last seven home matchups. CF Montréal recorded a 3-2 win over Austin but have since lost 1-0 to both New York Red Bulls and St. Louis. Montreal sit bottom of the Eastern Conference with only one win in nine matches within 90 minutes and just two MLS wins since late June.
