Real Salt Lake is another team underperforming the expectations of bookmakers and many bettors, so much so that they were never able to string together consecutive wins in 2025.

In a match featuring more than 30 fouls between Real Salt Lake and Dallas FC in the last round, Real Salt Lake received six yellow cards, Aganda saw two, and was sent off minutes after Julio Santos tied the score at 1 for the home side, but Real Salt Lake was able to hold on to the tie with 10 men. A win is starting to give Pablo Mastroeni a boost if he wants to aim for a top-seven finish. Some bettors believe they can beat the Timbers, so Real Salt Lake is listed as the favorite in the 1x2 match with odds around -100, with a tendency to continue falling.

Timbers matches have generally been a goal fest, but the exception was against Sporting Kansas City, which they won 1-0 with a goal from Santiago Moreno in the 10th minute. The Colombian has scored in three of his last four matches.

Our Real Salt Lake vs Portland Timbers Prediction

Colombian forward Moreno is having a good time with the Timbers, but Venezuelan forward Kelsy has 4, Antony has 4 and 7 assists, and Mora has 5, providing plenty of attacking opportunities for the Timbers, placing four players in the top 50 in MLS scoring. Meanwhile, Real Salt Lake's last three matches have seen both sides score, so a high-scoring game seems likely.

Our prediction for Real Salt Lake vs Portland Timbers is: Over 2.5 goals.
