Utah Royals FC will welcome Portland Thorns to the America First Field on Friday night in Matchday 4 of the 2025 NWSL season. The Royals sit in the 13th spot with a single point after losing twice, including their most recent assignment against KC Current. They suffered a 3-0 blowout last weekend despite seeing 65% of the ball and making 595 passes. Before that, they lost 3-2 to San Diego Wave on the road and will be glad to return home on Friday night.
Like the Royals, Portland Thorns will also be shooting for their first win in this matchup. They are 11th in the standings with two points after failing to score enough goals to win matches lately. Before the break, the Thorns drew 0-0 with North Carolina Courage at home, highlighting their struggles in front of the goal this season. They come into this matchup as the slight betting underdogs. A win could kickstart the season for both teams.

Our Utah Royals FC vs Portland Thorns Prediction
We expect a cracking game as both sides continue to search for their first win. The Royals will want to maximize their home advantage and score a goal or two to kickstart their campaign.
They’ll be eager to do a double against the visitors after winning 2-1 on the road in October last year. However, the Thorns have looked solid lately, and they only need to score more goals to get their season rolling. They could fancy their chances against the Royals, who conceded 10 goals in the last four games. Our prediction for Utah Royals vs Portland Thorns: Over 2.5 goals.
