Considering that Portland Timbers will aim to secure a win and build on their unbeaten streak of ten on their home soil, while Real Salt Lake will aim to secure a win on the road and extend their unbeaten streak to five games to find a place in the MLS promotion playoff standings. Therefore, I expect both teams to find the net against one another, while I expect more than two goals to be recorded. However, I expect the home team to secure a win in either half since they have won two of their last five games, and since they were unbeaten in their last ten games on their home soil and since the visiting team were battling a winless streak of six on the road lately.
