This match features two teams living in the basement of the USL Championship, Portland Timbers II holding 4th place and LA Galaxy II lying 4th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting LA Galaxy II have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.
It's quite the trip for LA Galaxy II when visiting Portland as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.
Portland Timbers II form and stats
Portland Timbers II have played three USL Championship home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as Portland have lost seven games in a row. Three consecutive losses here at Providence Park is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
No payout for Portland in their previous match, an away game at Sacramento Republic that ended in defeat 1-2. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-5 away at Reno 1868.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Seattle Sounders II are coming to town in three days.
Portland have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Portland having conceded 9 goals here at Providence Park so far. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Portland Timbers II have let the opposition score 9 times, an average of more than three per game.
LA Galaxy II form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the USL Championship away games so far for LA Galaxy II with six points collected from three matches.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a USL Championship home defeat versus Orange County with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Phoenix Rising.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Las Vegas Lights in just four days.
The Galaxy manager J. Gonzalez has got the team scoring on the road, with 6 away goals in 3 league matches. Galaxy have conceded 5 goals in these games.
