Sitting on their first three points of the season, Real Salt Lake travels to Providence Park to take on the Defending MLS Cup Champs, the Portland Timbers. The RSL, Timbers matchup appears to be a powder keg ready to explode at a moment’s notice after a preseason tussle in Tucson saw both a man in red and a man in green sent to the bench – the preseason equivalent of taking the long walk to the locker rooms. As the rivalry continues to grow, RSL will attempt to take an early series lead and thus the initiative for the rest of the season in this 6-point Western Conference match.
