Riding the wave of a four-match unbeaten run, Charlotte FC enters Saturday night's fixture with confidence and rhythm, seeking to continue their ascent up the MLS standings, while utilizing their home field advantage.

"We're building toward the end of our season, and the goal is to be in playoffs and to be a really competitive team. Getting a result against Toronto will help us do that", said Dean Smith in his press conference.

CLTFC are in their scoring form, having registered at least one goal in sixteen consecutive matches across all competitions. That sustained scoring streak is an insight into the team's growing cohesion in the final third. A key contributor to that success? Wilfried Zaha. Zaha has put together a strong run of form, recording a goal contribution in seven straight matches. Over that stretch, he's totaled two goals and six assists, bringing his season tally to six goals and eight assists. Impressively, five of those assists have been game-winners, making him the club's all-time leader in MLS regular-season game-winning assists.

The Crown are unbeaten in their last four home matches, turning Bank of America Stadium into a fortress where visiting sides find it increasingly difficult to claim points. Saturday will be a key match for the Crown if they want to assert themselves as a serious contender in the Eastern Conference.
