Portland Timbers versus LAFC is a Major League Soccer matchup on Saturday night at Providence Park. Portland Timbers are still searching for their first win in five matches, a record that leaves them 14th in the Western Conference with only 4 points. They threw away a 2-1 lead in their last game against Vancouver to lose 3-2. Even more painful for them is that they conceded twice outside regular time. They’ll be under pressure to win this weekend.

LAFC, on the other hand, will be keen to continue with their red-hot form this season. They sit on top of the Western Conference with 16 points. Even more impressive is that they haven’t lost a game in the domestic league this year. Marc Dos Santos’ men took a step closer to qualifying for the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup with a 3-0 win over Mexican side Cruz Azul on Tuesday night. They look unplayable this season.

Our Portland Timbers vs Los Angeles FC Prediction

This game has another LAFC win written all over it, with bookies favoring them by -148. Son Heung-Min has been a great signing for them, with the former Tottenham striker topping the charts with six assists. Denis Bouanga is also having a great season, scoring four goals in six matches. However, their defenders have been the standout performers this season. LAFC has allowed no league goals this season, compared to the Timbers, who already have given up 15. With the visitors also struggling for creativity and finishing, LAFC should fancy their chances of getting another clean sheet. We see them winning 2-0 or 3-0.
