LAFC vs Portland Timbers: Storylines
LAFC currently rank 6th in the West and victory over Portland, combined with other results, could propel them to the 4th seat. They have Diego Rossi, the maximum scorer of the MLS 2020 season(14) to lead them to the promised land but the challenge they’ll have in front will be anything but easy.
Portland missed a big chance to be the only leader of the West after they lost against Colorado Rapids. Now Giovanni Savarese’s side will try to finish the season as good as possible, better if they can snatch that first position. This will be the fourth encounter between these two this season, with LAFC winning 4-2 on September 13. They drew the other two matches.
