LA Galaxy Portland Timbers betting prediction
Betting suggestion:
Los Angeles Galaxy face Portland Timbers in a match that has the potential to be more studied than usual. Despite the attacking reputation of both teams, the last few meetings between them have shown more defensive balance. This, coupled with physical exhaustion, could limit real chances of scoring. Therefore, the betting tip is less than 3.5 goals.

Analysis Galaxy
The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a away loss by (1‑0) against Austin. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Galaxy has won 2, tied 5 and lost 3.
In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 8 matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 8 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 24 of the last 27 have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had problems scoring first, since they have only opened up the score once in the last 8 matches for the MLS. In 8 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 6 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90').
Los Angeles Galaxy are going through a difficult phase, occupying last place in the conference and still without a win in the current edition of Major League Soccer. The team is facing serious defensive problems, with a vulnerable defense and an ineffective attack. Despite this, the team knows the importance of the game and is looking to bounce back, trying to overcome their difficulties and start picking up points. The match against the Portland Timbers will be an opportunity for the Galaxy to get back on their feet and try to finally achieve a long-awaited victory. The team needs to improve both defensively and offensively if they are to have any chance of pulling off a surprise.
