THE PREDICTION

This looks to be a relative mismatch in terms of form as Real Salt Lake have lost three games on the bounce while Portland Timbers – who are tied on points with Seattle Sounders at the top of the Western Conference – boast five straight victories so the sensible option would clearly be to back an away win. To add extra value in the betting markets though, it could pay dividends to add the concession of both teams to score, as the Timbers have only kept two clean sheets in their last 40 away games in the MLS – a run that stretches back to the 2018 season.
