After having a difficult start to the Major League Soccer season, losing their first three matches, Charlotte FC swiftly turned things around to improve their standing in the Eastern Conference, collecting 21 points from their following 12 matches.
After splitting the points in a game against Seattle Sounders that concluded with three goals each, Lattanzio's team now enters the weekend on the heels of two draws. Most recently, they were held to a 2-2 draw away at New York Red Bulls on Wednesday. Charlotte FC has suddenly slipped to 10th place in the Eastern Conference as a result of their dismal month.
They face a CF Montreal team that is on a different trajectory; after having a rough start to the league season, the visitors have improved recently.
After seven games in the MLS season, CF Montreal found itself in a very precarious situation with just three points after six losses, 17 goals allowed, and three goals scored, all of which came in their lone 3-2 victory over Philadelphia Union.
L'Impact enters the weekend having once more strung together a string of victories, first hammering Minnesota United 4-0 in early June before most recently hosting Nashville SC and triumphing 1-0.
