As soccer betting fans head into the final couple of weeks in the MLS season, there is still an awful lot to play for in regards playoff spots. This is particularly true in the west, where 10 of the 11 teams can still stake a legitimate claim to a postseason place. Wednesday night will see a pair of teams, Real Salt Lake and the Portland Timbers, hook up in a clash at Rio Tinto Stadium in Utah. The loser of that one could well see their playoff hopes dashed.

— Portland Timbers (@TimbersFC) October 13, 2015
The Portland Timbers have been a very hard team to figure out this season. They have one of the best defensive records in the MLS, yet their ability to find the net n a regular basis is confounding. Diego Valeri and Darlington Nagbe are two of the best playmakers in the league, but other than Fanendo Adi, there is no-one up front who has found their shooting boots this season.



Consider This Before Placing Your Bet
There has only been a single goal scored in the previous 2 meetings between Portland and Real this season, and it was Nat Borchers of the Timbers who scored it on their last visit to Rio Tinto. Expect another low-scoring affair, with the Timbers getting the road win.
