Prediction: 3-1
Portland Timbers
After dropping two points in a thrilling 3-3 draw with their local rivals Los Angeles Galaxy, Los Angeles FC will look to return to winning ways as they take on Portland Timbers in yet another home fixture. The Black and Gold have been impressive at home ground this term, but they need to showcase their worth on the field. With Olivier Giroud returning to France to join Lille, a man to watch in the home team will be pacey Gabon forward Denis Bouanga.
Meanwhile, the Timbers have suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last three league matches. Given their dreadful away record in the 2025 MLS campaign, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. Both Antony and Jonathan Javier Rodriguez are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles FC):
Seeing that Los Angeles FC will be competing in Major League Soccer from the 2018 season, the club chiefs did well to reinforce the squad. Several high-profile players joined the club in the winter of 2018, with Mexican ace Carlos Vela being the biggest name to sign a deal with LAFC.
The new expansion team will host their rivals at Banc of California, the stadium which is planned to be opened on April 29, 2018. The venue should hold up to 22,000 spectators. Los Angeles FC will be coached by Bob Bradley in the 2018 MLS campaign and they will be wearing black and gold kits in the USA professional soccer league. Speaking of their bitterest rivals, there will be fireworks when Los Angeles FC face LA Galaxy in the Major League Soccer.
District 9 Ultras and Black Army 1850 are considered the club's biggest supporters groups and it has to be noted that they used to support Chivas USA. Los Angeles FC were founded on October 30, 2014.
