So far, both the Charlotte FC and CF Montreal are generating scoring opportunites at a below-average rate. On the season, Montreal ranks 14th in attacking area possessions, with Montreal sitting 18th. Even though both teams are struggling to generate offensive opportunites, the CF Montreal have done a good job at limiting their opponent’s chances in the attacking zone.
