Both clubs are on the wrong side of the Eastern Conference standings at the moment and could use a win on Saturday.

Charlotte FC vs CF Montreal Prediction & Pick

Charlotte hasn't had the best luck lately, winning just one of its last five matches. Having said that, it's playing at home this weekend, giving it an edge against a Montreal club that's only 1-8-1 on the road this season.

I won't be too surprised if this match ends in a draw. Charlotte only has three wins in nine home games thus far while Montreal hasn't won on the road since April 29. On top of that, both teams allow more goals than they score, making it difficult to favor one over the other.

It'll surely be a competitive contest, but don't expect a clear-cut victor.

Final Score Prediction: Charlotte: 2 | Montreal: 2

Charlotte FC vs CF Montreal Best Bet

For this match's best bet, let's go with CF Montreal on the spread. Charlotte's been struggling to pick up wins lately and even if it's victorious on Saturday, I don't see the home team winning by multiple goals. After all, Montreal is 2-0-0 all-time against Charlotte, having outscored the latter 4-1 on aggregate.

Whether it's in the form of a draw or upset win, I expect Montreal to cover.

Bet: CF Montreal +1 (-115)
