Our Predictions
Salt Lake is tough at home and will push for the win, while Portland’s attacking flair suggests both sides will find the net. Odds favor a balanced, goal-filled game, but a home win feels more plausible given recent form.
The history suggests low-scoring draws happen often here. Both defenses are resilient, and with slight caution, a tight, 1-1 or 0-0 draw is a likely scenario.
Portland’s sporadic away form combined with their attacking breaks might secure an upset, especially if Salt Lake presses too high. Expect a win for Portland with fewer goals.
