Los Angeles Galaxy and Portland Timbers are set to square off at the Dignity Health Sports Park in a blockbuster Major League Soccer showdown.
LA Galaxy came from behind to beat Austin 4-1 last time out, ending an underwhelming run of three MLS fixtures without winning (D1, L2). Still only five points clear of eighth-placed Houston Dynamo, the hosts cannot afford to rest on their laurels. After failing to reach the MLS Cup playoffs in the last two seasons, the ‘Galaxy’ are desperate to make things right this term. But after losing two of their three most recent home league games (W1), they will have to work their socks off to get a result here. On a more positive note, they have come out victorious in both previous home league H2Hs despite conceding on each occasion.
Meanwhile, Portland Timbers are not having the best of times by any stretch of the imagination. Since an overwhelming 7-2 home triumph over Sporting Kansas City in mid-May, they have lost their last three league outings by an aggregate score of 7-3. The ‘Timbers’ are lagging four points behind the playoff zone, meaning any slip-up could prove costly from now on. Unfortunately, Portland’s abysmal away from this season cannot inspire the visitors’ hopes of beating LA Galaxy. They have only won one of their eight away MLS fixtures this term (D3, L4), conceding an average of 1.87 goals per game.
