CF Montreal is currently one of the three teams in MLS. They hope that the return to the home soil can lead to three long -awaited points.
Montreal (0-5-2, 2 points) is home to Charlotte FC on Saturday evening, the Canadian team’s first appearance in Stade Saputo this season after a seven-game stretch.
Montreal won one point in Marco Donadel’s first match as a temporary head coach on March 29th, returned to the way of losing a week and decided 2-1 to Columbus crew. Nevertheless, the general effort of the club was positive.
Midfielder Caden Clark, “I think we finally step and this feeling, flying home, waking up in the morning, what if I did this? We’re tired of thinking. “I think we had enough comfort for us and we weren’t good enough.”
Charlotte (4-2-1, 13 points) is currently the fourth and eastern leader Columbus at the Eastern Conference. Coach Dean Smith’s team will win 2-1 against Nashville SC, but on Monday, he will face Montreal without Wilfried Zaha, who had surgery on his left thumb on his left thumb.
Charlotte’s first half performance against Nashville did not satisfy Smith, so this time the priority is to maintain a consistent game style for 90 minutes.
On Thursday, “We weren’t good for 32 minutes, and I think it is always important that we do not distract between the game and game plan.” He said. “The only thing we changed last week was our game plan without the ball, which was to suppress it from the outside … Our style of game shouldn’t have changed in any way.”
Charlotte, the league’s better goal scorer teams, 12 goals in the league took the sixth place. Zaha and Pep Biel have two goals. San Jose also has five assists connected to Cristian Espinoza for the league leadership.
On the contrary, Montreal scored only four goals in the first seven matches, Prince Owusu scored twice, and Dante Sealy and Nathan Saliba scored a goal.
