Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

It's hard to overlook the part that defence will play in this match. The capable defending of both sides will be tough for opposing offences, which is why it could be a low-scoring affair.

That overwhelming defence is also a great reason to go 'no' on the Both teams to score market.

Our prediction is: Sacramento Republic to win the 1st half

Sacramento Republic will head in to face Pittsburgh Riverhounds with a tough task as the away side. Their recent results and performances have been far from impressive, but in our opinion, they are being a bit too underestimated.

We are tipping Sacramento Republic to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against Pittsburgh Riverhounds, at least until half-time.
