The Portland Timbers and LA Galaxy face off on Sunday in a key early season MLS showdown at Providence Park. When these two teams faced off in October of 2021 it was the Galaxy that won 2-1.
Portland Timbers
The LA Galaxy currently sit in seventh place in the standings having picked up six points. LA started the season strong winning the first two games, but now they are struggling losing two straight games. Two games ago against the Seattle Sounders they were defeated 3-2 and in the last game against Orlando City they lost 1-0.
They had 63 percent of the possession against Orlando City, but only managed three shots on goal and none of the chances were that great of scoring chances. On the season the Galaxy have scored four goals while their defense has given up four goals.
Javier Hernandez has been the top player this season for the Galaxy scoring two goals. Douglas Costa and Efrain Alveraz have been the other two goal scorers. In this game if the Galaxy want to come away with the victory they are going to need the offense to be better. They are going to need to get good scoring chances, and making life tough on the defense of the Portland Timbers.
LA Galaxy
On the other side of this matchup is the Portland Timbers who sit in 9th place in the standings having picked up six points. So far this season Portland has played to three draws, a victory, and a loss. The only loss was two games ago against FC Dallas, a game where the defense gave up four goals.
In the last game against Orlando City, they fell behind but it was a goal by Cristhian Parades that scored a goal in the 80th minute to secure the draw. Jose Van Rankin picked up a red card in the 76th minute and won’t be available for this game.
Portland has scored six goals while their defense has given up eight goals. Yimmi Chara has been the top player this season for Portland scoring two goals and adding one assist.
Free Portland Timbers vs. LA Galaxy MLS Analysis:
This LA Galaxy offense has had issues heading into this game and I expect that is going to be the case again in this game. Look for Portland to control the pace of this game and they are going to have some very quality scoring chances. Look for Portland to score a goal or two, and the Timbers will win on the money line.
