Portland Timbers v Real Salt Lake : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Thu 17th Jul, 03:30 BST, Providence Park, Portland

Phil Neville and Pablo Andrés Mastroeni clash in the Major League Soccer on Thursday morning, as Portland Timbers face Real Salt Lake at the Providence Park. You'll see stats supporting our top of below, but be sure to take a look at the 16 other betting markets we cover too. We aim to give you as full a picture as possible, with Major League Soccer performances and head to heads (H2Hs) included, so that you can make a smart bet. Finally, be sure to get the best odds from one of the UK's biggest bookmakers.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there's no obvious winner for this clash, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Portland and Salt Lake will score 2 or more goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Phil Neville or Pablo Andrés Mastroeni has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.20 equating to approximately a 75% probability.
