The Portland Timbers are enjoying a strong run of form, currently sitting in 4th position with 14 points from 8 games. They have been unbeaten in their last five matches, a streak that includes three wins and two draws. Their most recent outing was particularly impressive, a high-scoring 4-2 away victory against Sporting Kansas City. The Timbers have shown resilience in defence, conceding only six goals in their last six games and keeping two clean sheets. Their attack has been potent, netting 11 goals in the same period, with an average of 1.83 goals per game. Notably, their goal difference of +5 and their ability to score in various scenarios (50% of games seeing both teams score, and an even split between over and under 2.5 goals) demonstrate a well-balanced side capable of adapting to different match situations.

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a perfectly balanced record of three wins and three losses in their last six games. Their goal difference is neutral, having scored and conceded eight goals each, averaging 1.33 per game in both categories.

Interestingly, half of their matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games with over and under 2.5 goals. Despite their inconsistent form, LAFC have maintained a respectable 7th position in the league table, accumulating 12 points from 8 games, suggesting they've been more effective in league play than in cup competitions.

Their away form has been particularly poor, winning only one of their last six away games.

Despite their attacking capabilities, averaging 1.33 goals per game, LAFC have managed just one clean sheet in these six away fixtures. The majority of their away games (67%) have seen both teams score and have gone over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for open, high-scoring matches on the road.
