The Portland Timbers have headed south to the somehow cooler weather of California in order to take on one of the top teams in the Western Conference, Los Angeles FC.
Since the Timbers’ 2-1 win in the first match up between the two sides back in May, LAFC have lost only once and the Timbers have lost not at all. Both sides have left their mark on the Western Conference already this season, but an away point or three for the Timbers could set the side up well to push up the table and actually challenge for one of the coveted top spots in the West.
