Los Angeles are on a two-game losing streak, having fallen to San Diego (0-1) and then Colorado (0-1).

⭐ Editor's Pick
In this one, Los Angeles will be pushing hard to get back to winning ways. They have been solid throughout the season, and a minor dip is something that happens to any team. Time to get back on track - and an inconsistent Portland side is a good opponent to do it against. The visitors could start struggling defensively. Our editors expect this match to end 2-1. The logical bet here is a Los Angeles win.
