We said: Portland Timbers 2-1 Los Angeles FC

 At this stage of the year, the odds of Portland making the postseason may be long, but we expect them to make it interesting down the homestretch as they have responded well since a 5-0 loss cost Giovanni Savarese his job. The Black and Gold, meanwhile, are missing some significant pieces on defence and in the attack, while their away form has not been sharp all season.
