Los Angeles FC: Form and Statistics

Los Angeles FC played Los Angeles Galaxy the previous weekend and they could only take a point in a 3-3 contest. In that contest, this team took a two-goal lead in the first 31 minutes of the game but then conceded but Gabriel Pec reduced his side's deficit before the break. However, this team conceded twice in the second half as Denis Bouanga’s double and Javairo Dilrosun strike was not enough to see them win. Ahead of this game, Los Angeles FC have now gone unbeaten in four games as they sit 5th in the Western Conference with 36 points.

Los Angeles FC vs Portland Timbers Match Prediction 26 July 2025

The Los Angeles FC have had some decent performances since missing their World Club Cup woeful run. In the meantime, their unbeaten run will be a confidence boost but their unlucky outcome against Los Angeles Galaxy last time out will be what to work on against a Portland Timbers side that have struggled in recent games. However, all season, the Portland Timbers have been competitive and their spot in the standings is a testament to this. Looking at how the past meetings of this fixture have ended, Los Angeles FC might be the better team to pick in this game but their struggle in defense against Portland Timbers who are hungry to return to winning ways will be what to work on. Looking at what the two teams have to offer, I feel Los Angeles FC could net at least twice in this game, but Portland Timbers will not leave without a fight.
