Bet on Los Angeles vs PortlandCan LAFC Move Five Points Clear of Timbers?
Los Angeles are having a solid season, sitting fifth in the Western Conference after ten wins, six draws, and five defeats. LAFC have accumulated 36 points and have games in hand on the teams above.
The Black and Gold Falcons will still be hurting from last weekend’s El Trafico draw with rivals LA Galaxy. They were seconds away from claiming a 3-2 win, but Maya Yoshida equalised for Galaxy at the death.
Portland Timbers are just two points and one place behind Los Angeles in the Western table. Rose City have won nine, drawn seven, and lost seven. Even though LAFC have two games in hand, an away win will see Phil Neville’s men leapfrog them in the table.
Portland are in poor form, though, winning just one of their past six MLS fixtures. After a narrow 2-1 home victory over New England Revolution at the start of the month, Timbers have lost two and drawn one of the following three.
Los Angeles vs Portland Timbers Betting Odds
Los Angeles have suffered just two league defeats at BMO Field this season, and only three teams have amassed more home points. Naturally, the Californians are the strong favourites to win this one (1.49).
Portland are good at home, but results on their travels have been disappointing. They are looking for just their fourth away win of the season this Friday, and you can get 5.60 for the Oregon outfit to come out on top. The draw is available at 4.60.
Los Angeles Win – 1.49
Draw – 4.60
Portland Timbers Win – 5.60

These two were involved in a six-goal thriller at Providence Park earlier in the season. Los Angeles were two goals down twice, but a last-gasp Denis Bouanga penalty rescued a point.
The last meeting in California was also a cracker. Los Angeles edged a five-goal game, with Bouanga scoring a stoppage-time winner in that one. There have been 15 goals scored in the last three meetings.
