Portland Timbers and Los Angeles FC will lock horns on Saturday night at Providence Park. The Timbers will be looking for a big win to continue their solid start to the season in the Western Conference. They are fourth with 14 points, winning four of their matches and losing twice. Phil Neville’s side will be looking to build on their 4-2 win over Sporting KC last weekend. This result means they haven’t tasted defeat in the previous five matches.
Conversely, LAFC hasn’t had the start they wanted this season. Steve Cherundolo’s men are seventh in the Western Conference after a rocky start to the campaign. However, they seem to improve daily, defeating San Jose 2-1 at BMO Stadium last weekend. LAFC looked solid in the match, taking the lead in the 65th minute through Sergi Palencia before doubling their lead in the 86th minute through Denis Bouanga. Another win could turn around their season.

Our Portland Timbers vs Los Angeles FC Prediction
Portland Timbers will enter this matchup as the exciting +132 betting favorites. They have been on fire lately and will fancy their chances against the inconsistent LAFC. Portland will also want to improve their head-to-head record against LAFC after winning only once in the last eight meetings. The visitors have been sloppy defensively, conceding five goals in their previous three matches.
However, LAFC will have a status to protect in this matchup as they look to stabilize their campaign. They bounced back from their CONCACAF Champions Cup elimination against Inter Miami with a solid show against San Jose. A 2-1 win for the hosts could be on the cards. Our prediction for Portland Timbers vs LAFC: Over 2.5 goals.
