THE PREDICTION
Real Salt Lake. The fact that Real Salt Lake are being previewed ahead of an MLS Eastern Conference playoff final is remarkable. They squeezed into the top seven on the final matchday due to a controversial refereeing decision before moving past Seattle Sounders in the quarter-finals on penalties without having a single shot in the entire match before defeating Sporting KC with two late goals after being a goal down, the winner coming in second-half stoppage time. Portland Timbers finished fourth in the table but have had two solid and well controlled performances against Minnesota United and the Colorado Rapids to reach this stage. RSL will once again be relying on ‘the story’ whilst Portland appear to be the far more trustworthy bet. Something that is likely is that it should be a low-scoring affair.
