A look at Charlotte FC vs CF Montreal tonight

The crown heads to the great white north this evening to take on CF Montreal. A few things the crown needs to do to bring home a win and three points from this match.

Surrendering points from winning positions has become a recurring issue for the Crown.

After giving up a 2-nil lead to Cincinatti in the last outing Coach Lattanzio urged his team to avoid falling into the same trap. This trap involves gaining a lead but then allowing the fear of losing to disrupt their momentum, resulting in a deviation from their game plan and a loss of control over the match. This is a monkey the club has to get off its back in order to come away with three points tonight.

CF Montreal is coming off of two matches last week giving the crown a fitness advantage heading into tonight's match. 

On top of the fatigue associated with playing two matches in a week, Montréal's Head Coach Hernan Losada implements a high-intensity system that demands significant physical effort. Charlotte can exploit this by maintaining a high level of intensity throughout the match, knowing that Montréal will eventually tire. If the crown takes advantage of what could be both a physical and mental hurdle for CF Montreal. Charlotte FC could get back on the winning side of things by not having any mental lapses of their own.
