Match preview
A huge winner takes all clash in the battle for play-off places.
Portland Timbers have featured in three of the last seven MLS Cups, including last season, but their post-season place is on the line.
That’s because, last weekend, Giovanni Savarese’s team were beaten 2-1 by Supporters’ Shield winners LAFC at home, conceding in the 95th minute.
Before this, the Timbers had found form at just the right time, accumulating 13 points from a possible 15.
Real Salt Lake meantime come into this one knowing a victory would see them clinch a post-season berth, at their visitors’ expense.
The Claret and Cobalt, crucially, held LA Galaxy to a 1-1 draw in Carson last weekend; Sergio Córdova breaking the deadlock.
If RSL win, they’re guaranteed a play-off spot, while a point is enough for Portland, who kick off two places higher.
The game between Minnesota and Vancouver, taking place concurrently, could have a baring on things; it’s complicated!
Even so, given that Real Salt Lake have lost just three times at Rio Tinto Stadium in 2022, they’ll be feeling pretty confident.
Who will be celebrating play-off qualification in Utah?
