The table topping LA Galaxy host the Portland Timbers in a huge MLS Western Conference matchup on Saturday night. The Galaxy have been in sparkling form at home this season, winning eight and losing just one of their last ten games at Dignity Health Sports Park. They are currently two points clear of LA FC at the top of the table, but have played two games more than their city rivals. The Timbers are also in good form, winning five of their last six games, including a comprehensive 3-0 success over Real Salt Lake last time out. This will be the 38th encounter between the two sides, with both teams having 14 victories to their name.

Our Los Angeles Galaxy vs Portland Timbers Prediction

This is a mouthwatering looking contest between two teams that have played some superb football in recent weeks. However, we think that the Galaxy's superior squad strength and home advantage gives them the edge. That being said, do not be surprised to see the Timbers find the net. They have scored at least twice in each of their last six games, and their strikers are in excellent form. In short, we are expecting a home win, with plenty of goals thrown in. Our prediction for LA Galaxy vs Portland Timbers is: LA Galaxy to win and over 3.5 goals, +200 at BetMGM.
