The actions and emotions of the 2024 MLS season continue, and this weekend, we will have a day full of intense matches.
The battle for the top of the table in both conferences is on fire. In the East, we have that Cincinnati assaulted the first place of the table after beating Inter Miami. On the other hand, in the West, there is a three-way tie at the top between Real Salt Lake, LAFC, and LA Galaxy, so every game is of utmost importance for these teams in their quest to dominate the conference.
In this context, one of the most remarkable games of the 25th MLS matchday will be between the Portland Timbers and top competitors Real Salt Lake.

Why Bet on the Portland Timbers?
The Portland Timbers have reacted in this 2024 season, and thanks to that, they are in fifth place in the Western standings with a record of nine wins, six draws, and eight losses. While this is not a very good record, it is good enough to be, so far, inside the playoffs.
The Timbers are 10 points behind first place in the table, a wide gap that we are sure will be very difficult to reduce. However, the offensive capacity they have shown so far this season is mind-blowing, as they are the second-highest-scoring team in the West with 45 goals. However, their defense has not been shining, as they have conceded 39 goals in 23 games.
Portland comes into this matchday after an excellent victory over Nashville SC by 4-1.
Why Bet on Real Salt Lake?
On the other hand, we have Real Salt Lake, a surprising team in this 2024 MLS season, as they are sharing the leadership of the Western Conference with LAFC and LA Galaxy.
There is no doubt that everything this team has done is positive so far, but, at this moment, they have no margin for error since a defeat could send them directly to third place in the table.
In this stretch of the season, RSL has a record of 12 wins, seven draws, and three defeats, with 48 goals scored and 27 conceded, showing a very good balance in attack and defense. However, they must be more consistent and stay on the winning track to be at the top of the standings.
Real Salt Lake comes into this matchday after an excellent victory over Atlanta United by 5-2.
