Welcome to Extratips, where today we've got a spicy MLS clash between Charlotte and CF Montreal. Kicking off on September 27th at 23:30 in the USA, this game might look like just another fixture, but there’s more than meets the eye. Charlotte, sitting pretty in third place with 53 points and a recent five-match winning streak, will fancy their chances at home. Meanwhile, Montreal, currently last but one in 15th with 26 points, needs to pick up points to keep their playoff hopes alive. The odds favor Charlotte at 1.53 for the win, with Montreal at 5.50 and the draw at 4.33. That tells us big favoritism for the home side, but don’t write off Montreal's resilience—they’ve shown flashes of brilliance, especially in away games. Interestingly, the last head-to-head saw Charlotte clinch a 1-0 victory in April 2025, a hint that Charlotte might have Montreal’s number. Charlotte’s strong home form (10 wins) and recent form (W W W W W) give them the edge, but Montreal’s away record (4 wins out of 15) suggests it won’t be a walk in the park. Expect a competitive clash, possibly with goals on both sides, as Montreal aims to disrupt Charlotte’s rhythm. In short, a home win seems likely, but don't discount Montreal nicking a goal or two, especially given their recent sporadic form. Stay tuned for how this game could unfold – it’s shaping up to be a cracker.
