The LA Galaxy manager Guillermo Barros Schelotto attacks this game with the team placed 5th so far. In the visitors dressing room Portland Timbers and their manager G. Savarese are in 10th place before this match.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
LA Galaxy form and stats
Nice going but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for LA Galaxy's home games so far this young season, having collected 6 from their 2 home matches. Two home wins in a row for LA Galaxy bring valid hopes of a third.LA Galaxy's previous game was a Major League Soccer match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Minnesota United (placed 4th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Dallas.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the LA Galaxy at home. 5 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Portland Timbers form and stats
The visitors are W0-D1-L2 on the road this term. Portland Timbers seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?It might be tough going out on the road again for Portland Timbers, facing their second straight away game. Especially as that game, in the Major League Soccer, ended a defeat 0-3 versus Cincinnati (placed 6th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Los Angeles FC wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.
Portland Timbers are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games. Portland Timbers can't defend away. 10 goals have been scored by the opposition in 3 matches, an average of more than three per game.
