Key Points

• Lukas Engel: Real Salt Lake's New Offense Resurgence Confident.
• Lukas Engel expressed confidence that Real Salt Lake's bad luck on offense will soon be over, especially as they continue to create many chances heading into the crucial match against the Portland Timbers.
• Engel confident Real Salt Lake's attacking underperformance will not last.

Real Salt Lake defender Lukas Engel has expressed his confidence that his team can overcome their lack of converting chances, ahead of their crucial match against the Portland Timbers on Saturday. Most recently, Real Salt Lake lost at the hands of Los Angeles FC, 3-1, in their first match after the World Cup break. Despite the loss, the team's positive outlook still prevailed. Engel scored a goal, but it came just after the match was over and the score was 3-0 for LAFC. However, the data shows that RSL's offense is useful: they recorded a total of 28 shots compared to LAFC's 12 and even had an expected goals (xG) advantage of 2.78 against the opponent's 1.16. According to Engel, it is important that they continue with this type of offense and luck will surely come. Real Salt Lake is still in fourth place in the Western Conference after the match, six points behind the leader Vancouver Whitecaps. But they slipped one spot while LAFC won. RSL's goal today: bounce back with a win against Portland to stay in the title chase. Meanwhile, their 5-1 win against Seattle Sounders and a 2-2 comeback against FC Dallas recently provided confidence for the Portland Timbers. According to interim coach Jack Cassidy, they are focusing on recovery and quick preparation to face RSL, especially with the tight schedule. WHERE THE EYES FOCUS:

For the Portland Timbers, look for Felipe Mora to star again—scoring their second equalizer in the last match and now with his 50th MLS career goal (including regular season and playoffs). Mora has the most substitute goals in Timbers history. On the Real Salt Lake side, Saba Lobjanidze stood out in his debut when he provided an assist to Engel, something he had not done in 13 games before with Atlanta United. STATISTICS AND PREDICTIONS: Historically, Real Salt Lake has picked up their last two wins against Portland in the regular season but has been infrequent in recent years. Portland, on the other hand, suddenly came alive in the second half in their last two games, something that was rare in the first half of the season. In the end, based on OPTA data, the Portland Timbers have a 39.6% chance of winning, 36.6% for Real Salt Lake, and 23.8% for a draw. Fans are sure to expect a fierce battle, especially since both teams are desperate to move up in the Western Conference standings.

What's next

Real Salt Lake is expected to be more solid in their offense as they prepare for the match against the Portland Timbers. The team is focused on converting the chances they create, which can have a big match impact on their match. A victory against the Timbers will help them get back on track and move closer to the lead of the Western Conference.
