We said: Real Salt Lake 2-1 Portland Timbers

Portland may have won the last two encounters against Real Salt Lake, but they were the hosts in both games – the visitors have failed to win in their last two trips to America First Field. In addition, the Timbers have been poor on the road in recent weeks, which is why we are predicting them to lose this clash. Read more.
