Our Portland Timbers vs. LA Galaxy prediction is for the game to have over 2.5 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the LA Galaxy sits atop the MLS<\/a> Western Conference, the Timbers are trying to reach the playoffs. Galaxy has an edge over LAFC in the battle for the first place, but they need to keep on winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portland has a four-point minus they have to liquidate over the next few rounds, otherwise, the direct spot in the playoffs stays out of reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Betting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Portland’s results over the past three weeks have been mixed. After a 4-4 tie against St. Louis City, they defeated Seattle at home, 1-0. However, the most recent result was disappointing: a 2-1 loss in Colorado vs. Rapids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Timbers play very efficient games at home. In 14 matches at Providence Park, they scored 35 and allowed 22 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portland won’t have problems with injured players, as all their starters are fit and ready to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
