Real Salt Lake Portland Timbers betting prediction

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Play‑In Round) after a home win by (3‑1) against SJ Earthquakes. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Portland Timbers has a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 17 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 13 of the last 17 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 34 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 18 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

The walk of the Portland Timbers was not easy, but they have managed to get here and now they will do their best to further improve their campaign. In a game like this they will need to be smart and show more qualified football because there will be no ease. On the pitch they will need to score well and at the same time impose themselves as they need a favorable result to secure their spot in the next round. Thus, they value the homogeneity of defense to attack, all without errors, as this will give them a greater chance of winning. In this match Modou Jadama and Jeff Attinella will be out for being in the medical department, while Julio Cascante, Andres Flores, Kendall McIntosh, Tomas Conechny and Diego Valeri are doubts.

Confirmed Lineup: Steve Clark, Jorge Moreira, Jorge Villafaña, Larrys Mabiala, Cristhian Paredes, Bill Tuiloma, Diego Chará, Sebastian Blanco, Andy Polo, Jeremy Ebobisse, Dairon Asprilla.
Coach: P. Neville.
