The LA Galaxy is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 2 of their last 3 as well as 6 of their last 8 matches and their attack has been great in those. They have scored 16 goals in their last 8 matches, averaging 2 goals scored per match in that span, and their defense has been averaging less than 1 goal allowed per match in those, keeping 4 clean sheets in their last 8 matches. When playing at home, they have won their last 2 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 matches there with their only loss in that span coming against LAFC in a 2-1 match. Their attack has been much better at home though as they have scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches there. They are going up against a Portland side that has been in very good form in their recent matches as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 matches, but their last 4 wins in that span all came at home and their only loss in that span was their only away match in their last 5. When playing away from home, they only have 1 win in their last 3 matches and have 3 losses in their last 7 away matches with 2 wins in that span. They lost their last away match 3-2 against Dallas and they have been conceding a lot of goals all season. Portland is not going to be able to keep out this potent LA Galaxy attack as the Galaxy are going to score goals here and will be able to outscore Portland if need be, but their defense will also be better at home while Portland has struggled more away from home. The LA Galaxy will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
