Real Salt Lake at Portland Timbers 8/29/20 - MLS (Soccer)
Two teams that are coming off opposite results in their return from the MLS IS BACK Tournament will now clash against one another, when Portland will play host to Real Salt Lake on Saturday. Portland did great to win the Tournament but suffered a heavy loss against Seattle. Real Salt Lake returned to regular season duties with a strong win against Colorado.
Portland (3-2-1) are coming off a really balanced match at home against Cascadia rivals Seattle, where they saw their opponents scored three goals in the second half to force them to a harsh 3-0 loss. Portland have been excellent so far in the season, losing just two of their ten matches in all competitions so far (6-2-2). They are sitting at the 4th spot of the league table with 10 points, scoring 8 goals and conceding 10 in the process.
Real Salt Lake (2-1-3) destroyed Colorado by a confident 4-1 on the road in their last match, in a match where they scored an own goal at the first half. But they exploded in the second half, scoring four goals and reaching a really solid victory. Real Salt Lake did a solid job in the group stage of the MLS IS BACK Tournament (1-1-1) but were demolished in the knockout round by 2-5 in the hands of San Jose. They are now sitting at the 6th spot of the league table with 9 points, scoring 7 goals and conceding just 4 (San Jose’s five goals in the knockout round do not count towards the regular season).
Free Soccer Pick: Portland Timbers -112
Portland won both matches against Real Salt Lake last season, but it was Real Salt Lake who eventually beat them in the Conference knock-out round. Portland just barely have the upper hand as hosts in this match-up (4-3-5), but have lost just one of their last seven (3-1-3). Portland will be eager to bounce back after a tough loss against Seattle and I am backing them here.

Columbus Crew at Cincinnati 8/29/20 - MLS (Soccer)
FC Cincinnati fought really hard in the MLS IS BACK Tournament, they did not go far but they showed some great promise. However, they failed to replicate their strong performances in two matches ever since. They will now host Columbus on Saturday, who had a similar run in the MLS IS BACK Tournament, but have somewhat kept their form.
FC Cincinnati (2-4-1) are coming off a really bad performance on the road against Chicago Fire, where they were terrible on both ends of the pitch and eventually lost by 0-3. They conceded two early goals by the 10th minute and were unable to recover. Prior to that they played for a goal-less draw at home against DC United, which means that they have only won two of their eight matches so far in the season, both in the group stage of the MLS IS BACK Tournament (2-4-2). FC Cincinnati are sitting at the 10th spot of the Eastern Conference with 7 points, scoring just 6 goals and conceding 12.
Columbus Crew (5-1-1) did not perform really well in their away match against NYCFC, where they lost by a slim 0-1. They did not create a lot of chances and conceded the only goal of the match at the 50th minute for the final 0-1. However, that was just their first loss of the season, as Columbus were really impressive in the MLS IS BACK Tournament before bowing out to Minnesota United. They are leading the Eastern Conference with 16 points, scoring 12 goals so far and conceding just two in the process.
Free Soccer Pick: FC Cincinnati 0.5
The two teams met a few weeks ago in the MLS IS BACK Tournament, where Columbus destroyed Cincinnati by a massive 0-4. Last season they grabbed four points in two matches against Cincinnati. Columbus have been excellent this season but Cincinnati have looked pretty active on the offensive end. This is not going to be an easy match for Columbus, especially with some of their most creative midfielders missing. Taking the home side to cover the spread.

Orlando City at Atlanta United 8/29/20 - MLS (Soccer)
Two teams that recorded wins in their last match will now lock horns against one another on Saturday, when Atlanta United will host Orlando City. Oddly enough, both teams beat Nashville at home, both by a two-goal margin.
Atlanta United (3-3-0) finally scored some goals and managed to easily win their home match against Nashville. It wasn’t an easy match for them, but Pity scored a goal at the end of each half to grant them a nice win. Prior to that, Atlanta had four consecutive losses in all competitions without even scoring a single goal. They are now sitting at the 8th spot of the Eastern Conference with 9 points, scoring 6 goals and conceding 5 in the process.
Orlando City (3-2-2) bounced back to winning ways with a confident 1-3 at home against Nashville. They actually conceded the first goal in that match but managed to pull even shortly after, before scoring two more goals in the second half for the final 1-3 win. That means that they have only kept two clean sheets in 11 matches in all competitions so far in the season. Orlando City are sitting at the 4th spot of the Eastern Conference with 11 points, scoring 12 goals and conceding nine in the process.
Free Soccer Pick: Orlando City SC 0
The two teams met on three occasions last season, twice for the MLS and once for the US Open Cup, and Atlanta United won all three occasions with clean sheets. They have been tremendous in this match-up so far, going undefeated in nine matches and winning each of the last six. Things have been a bit more balanced in this venue though (2-0-2). Even so, Orlando City have looked much healthier this season and I will back them up to cover the spread here.
