Portland Timbers vs LAFC Preview & Picks
The Portland Timbers have put together a two-game unbeaten run by beating Real Salt Lake and taking a point from the Seattle Sounders.
LAFC have lost their last two matches, with their 3-1 defeat to Inter Miami seeing them slip down to third in the Western Conference.
Head-To-Head
LAFC downed the Timbers 3-2 when the sides met back in March, with this seeing their unbeaten run against their opponents extended to four matches including three wins in their last three.
Portland Timbers Form
The Portland Timbers have struggled to consistently win games this term, with the side limping to seven victories in 27 outings, while they have drawn nine times and lost 11 matches.
They have been better of late, losing just four of their last 10, but this has come alongside just two wins, with the other four matches ending in draws.
If Portland are to snatch a playoff spot then they have to find a way to turn draws into wins. An unbeaten run of two games is a good start, and it would be a major statement from the home side if they can beat an LAFC outfit that currently sits in third in the Western Conference.
LAFC Form
LAFC have struggled since returning from the Leagues Cup, with a single win coming alongside two defeats.
Their inability to pick up any points against Charlotte and Inter Miami has seen the side slip down to third, now a point behind the Seattle Sounders and seven short of St Louis at the summit.
While their spot in the playoff spots still feels safe, LAFC know they cannot rest on their laurels, especially when considering the difference between them in third and the Timbers in 12th is just 10 points.
Verdict
I am backing both sides to hit the back of the net as LAFC take a point from a side that are struggling to get wins this season.
