Charlotte is about the only team in the league that is one to consistently look at taking an Under. On only EIGHT occasions this season in 29 matches have they scored two goals or more. That means 72% of the time Charlotte has scored one or no goals.
Defensively they have been excellent with the exact same stat lines. 21 of 29 matches (72%) they have held their opponent to one goal or less. It's clear why this is one of the best Under teams in the league.
The concern on the other side is Montreal's defense has given up A LOT of crooked numbers. In fact, they have allowed two goals or more in 20 of 30 matches (67%) including each of their last five games (both trends include Leagues Cup).
Offensively they do struggle though as only twice in their last ten have they scored two goals or more.
As we enter the home stretch of the regular season with just six or seven matches remaining, this will likely take-on a playoff feel as this is certainly a winnable game for both. Charlotte currently sit 6th and in the playoffs, while Montreal sit 13th, but only five points back of a playoff spot. You could argue this is do or die right now for Montreal and with so much on the line, defense and caution will likely to the front seat in this match.
