Portland Timbers vs Los Angeles Galaxy Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

 by Simon Day in Major League Soccer Picks

It has been a disastrous start to the season for MLS champions the LA Galaxy, but they have a great chance to get their season up and running this Sunday, as they take on the unfancied Portland Timbers at Providence Park. The Galaxy have lost all three of their MLS fixtures so far, including a dire 0-3 home defeat against St Louis City last time out. This is in stark contrast to their incredible run at the end of last season, which saw them win eight of their final nine games on their way to the MLS Cup title. 

Meanwhile, Portland also suffered a defeat in Week Three, losing 2-0 in Nashville. The Timbers came into the season with extremely low expectations, and despite a narrow 1-0 over Austin in their opening road games, few experts are tipping them to make it to the the postseason.

Our Portland Timbers vs Los Angeles Galaxy Prediction

We're not ready to completely write off the Galaxy just yet, and Sunday's game looks like a good chance for them to get their first points of the season. Despite the recent win over Austin, Portland are one of the weakest teams in MLS and it is hard to see them challenge for a playoff place. However, we're not quite ready to go all in and predict a Galaxy victory. They are still missing several key players and confidence will be low after last week's awful performance. As such, our prediction for Portland Timbers vs LA Galaxy is: Draw.
