Portland Timbers vs Real Salt Lake Preview
Providence Park will be the centre of attention when Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake go head-to-head in what promises to be another entertaining MLS encounter. Portland have been involved in a number of high-scoring matches recently, with their latest outing ending in a 2-2 draw against FC Dallas in midweek. The Timbers have been strong going forward, averaging 2.00 goals per game across their last ten matches, while their home fixtures have produced an impressive 4.25 total goals per game. Portland have also found the net in every one of their last four home matches, though defensive consistency remains an issue. Fernandez, Guerra, and Mosquera are all unavailable due to injuries, leaving the hosts with some selection concerns.
Real Salt Lake, meanwhile, will be looking to respond after suffering a 3-1 defeat against Los Angeles FC in their first match after the World Cup break. Despite sitting on a respectable 1.60 points per game over their last ten fixtures, their away form has been a major concern, with the visitors losing all four of their recent away matches and collecting just 0.25 points per game. Salt Lake have struggled defensively on the road, conceding 2.25 goals per away game on average, while both teams scored in 100% of their recent away fixtures. Injuries to Eneli, Glad, Hezarkhani, and Piol could further complicate matters for the visitors. Historically, this has been a balanced rivalry, with Portland winning 16 of 43 meetings and Real Salt Lake claiming 15 victories.
Portland's home matches average 4.25 goals, while Real Salt Lake have seen plenty of goals in their away games, with both teams scoring in all of their last four on the road. Therefore, our predictions lean toward BTTS, Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
