Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake have been extremely good as of late, winning 4 of their last 5 games. Their only loss recently came to LAFC. They are in second place in the West and have 43 points. They are tied for this position and need a win to keep pace for second.
Besides the game against LAFC, the Real Sal Lake attack has been very good. They have scored 10 goals in total in their last 5 games. They are only a decent scoring team on the road, so I expect them to struggle in Portland.

The Real Salt Lake defending has been solid as of late, but the problem is most of these games were at home. Portland is a very tough place to play, so they must limit them to 1 goal at most. They have not allowed more than 1 goal on the road since June 1st, so I really like them to remain solid at the back.
Portland Timbers
The Timbers have lost two in a row now and have started to fall in the Western standings. They have fallen to 8th with just 37 points. The Timbers need to start being worried about making the playoffs because they have not played well recently. They have only won 5 games at home, so it has not given them a huge advantage.
The Timbers have not scored much recently, just 2 goals in their last 2 games. Both of these games were at home, so I believe they could struggle here. I think Portland will find a goal in this game, but it may not be much.
The Timbers have not defended very well as of late, giving up 4 goals in their last 2 games. Real Salt Lake has a solid attack, so I see the Timbers allowing at least 1 goal. However, I would not be shocked if they allow 2 goals with the way they have been playing.
Free Real Salt Lake vs. Portland Timbers MLS Prediction:
I like the road team in this matchup to win and grab three points to keep pace for 2nd in the West.
4* Free MLS Betting Pick: Real Salt Lake +0.5
I think Real Salt Lake can hang around in this game, so I will take them on the goal line to protect us in case they play to a draw.
