Coming off of yet another an “encouraging but also kind of disappointing” performance last weekend, the Portland Timbers will look to turn the page on Sunday when they host Western Conference rival the LA Galaxy at Providence Park at 1:30 p.m. (Pacific).
Just as it was against Austin a few weeks ago, it is a key intra-conference matchup, and while it is still early days, a win against LA would go a long way to boost Portland’s place in the table — as well as their confidence.
As it always is against the Galaxy, three points will not be easy.
