Prediction: 2-2
Real Salt Lake
Providence Park will host Sunday’s MLS game between Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake, the two top-table sides. Portland have won four of their last five league matches, but they face a difficult task against the second-place visitors. Brazil midfielder Evander is back from suspension, while both Kamal Miller and Maxime Crepeau are still on the international duty. The Royals, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Houston Dynamo and Atlanta United.
As the visitors are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. The likes of Marcelo Silva, Pablo Ruiz, Erik Holt, Justen Glad, and Kevin Bonilla miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting team. Pablo Mastroeni should stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Arango up front as a lone centre-forward.
Highlighted Team (Real Salt Lake):
Real Salt Lake joined Major League Soccer in 2005 as an expansion team of the league and four years later they won their first MLS Cup. The Royals faced star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy in the title game at Qwest Field in Seattle and Jason Kreis’ troops defeated David Beckham and Co. on penalties.
In 2013 Real Salt Lake made it to the MLS Cup final for the second time in the club’s history, but they were beaten by Sporting Kansas City on penalties this time out. The Royals participated in the CONCACAF Champions League final in 2011 as well, but Monterrey of Mexico eventually won the title. Real Salt Lake footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is white.
The likes of Clint Mathis, Jeff Cunningham and Eddie Pope are some of the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Jeff Cunningham scored 19 goals in 32 appearances in the league for the Royals.
