Welcome back to the (unlucky?) 13th iteration of the 2018 Portland Timbers Prediction Thread!
Alas, last week saw the end of the Timbers’ winning streak; after drawing against the LA Galaxy at home, it’s merely a seven game unbeaten run. Without the dos Santos brothers and Ola Kamara - and with Zlatan Ibrahimovic starting on the bench - LA actually managed to look like a team and maintain shape defensively. The side from Carson got on the board first, through a great turn and finish by starting forward Chris Pontius.
