Despite their good start to the 2022-23 MLS season, LA Galaxy lost their consistency starting on Matchday 10 which continued for 3 consecutive games. LA Galaxy lost their crucial game against Dallas followed by a draw against Minnesota and another loss against Houston at home this was the main event that did not let LA Galaxy to join the top teams. However, they found their form back as they are on a 2-game winning streak which was against the West leaders, LAFC and a ladder higher, Austin FC. La Galaxy have not lost their last 3 previous meetings with Portland Timbers and are ready to continue that mission.
Portland Timbers, on the other hand, find themselves away from any competition and playoffs standings. In their last 9 games they managed to register only a single win which was against Sporting KC in the MLS with a 7-2 result playing at home. In order to fight for a qualification spot, Portland Timbers should grab their focus back and start collecting points to get higher standings in the table.
Both teams have the ability to score as we have seen their total number of goals in the tale. We expect both to touch the net with odds 1.63 from Vbet.
