Los Angeles FC vs Portland Timbers Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

To be honest, on home soil, the hosts will be bitterly disappointed if they don't resume winning ways here, and all round, they do look the stronger of the two teams. However, at very skinny odds, a bet on the home win hardly appeals. What does is appeal is a bet on bang-in-form visting forward Felipe Mora to find the net. The Timbers proved in the reverse fixture, which took place just two weeks ago, that they can cause Steve Cherundolo's men plenty of problems, particularly via the energetic and dangerous Mora, who has returned to fitness with a bang. The Chilean has scored four goals in four games, which is hard to ignore. He looks hungry, while he's getting into great positions, especially on the break, averaging a very eye-catching 0.77 xG per 90 minutes. Going away to Banc of California Stadium is a tough task, but given how in-form Mora has been, odds of +250 are hard to ignore. Our Prediction: Felipe Mora to Score.
