Three cheers for the international break being over, hopefully it did the Timbers some good. They needed the rest after coming off a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of expansion side FC Cincinnati. The less that is said about that, the better. The Timbers are in desperate need of a win or even points for that matter. So now they head to sunny Southern California to take on the other team in LA, the Galaxy.
The LAG are coming off a 3-2 win over Minnesota United. It would also be the second straight game without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who hasn’t been seen on the pitch since the season opener for the Galaxy.
