Portland Timbers want a victory in this round, but for that it will be necessary to act intelligently. The visitors want at least one point, but they shouldn't just defend on the pitch. This tends to be a busy game with great chances of goals. We will bet that both teams score goals.

Analysis Portland

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after having eliminated: Real Salt Lake, Seattle Sounders, Orlando City, Philadelphia Union, New York City and FC Cincinnati. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 22 conceded. For the league, Portland Timbers won 13 points out of 21 possible points, after 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 7 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 12 of their 28 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Portland Timbers come from two games without winning and this is not normal, so much so that they have to win again. The team will face a motivated Los Angeles Galaxy and the difficulty, at first, tends to be greater. This will make them need to be more careful in the field, because if they are careless they may not win again. It may seem cliché, but this will be the game where the team will give it all to win.

Confirmed Lineup: Jeff Attinella, Pablo Bonilla Serrada, Marco Farfan, Julio Cascante, Bill Tuiloma, Cristhian Paredes, Renzo Zambrano, Tomás Conechny, Marvin Loría, Felipe Mora, Andy Polo.
Coach: P. Neville.

Analysis Galaxy

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a home win by (3‑2) against SJ Earthquakes. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 39 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 33 goals scored and 25 conceded. In the last 10 away matches LA Galaxy has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 6 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 24 of the last 26 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.

It is not news that Los Angeles Galaxy were going through a poor moment in Major League Soccer, but they won the last two Californian classics. This shows that the team managed to improve their football or, at least, they had more determination. Against Portland Timbers, the difficulty will be great again and they will have to pay more attention. Despite wanting to win, a draw cannot be considered bad. Anyway, to score, their performance will have to be of a high level.

Confirmed Lineup: David Bingham, Nick DePuy, Julian Araujo, Emiliano Insúa, Daniel Steres, Joe Corona, Sebastian Lletget, Perry Kitchen, Cristian Pavón, Ethan Zubak, Efrain Alvarez.
Coach: G. Vanney.
