Recent home/away form
Portland Timbers
Based on the statistics and recent home game results, Portland Timbers have struggled to find consistency in their performances at home. In their last six home games, they have only managed one win, two draws, and three losses. The team has been involved in high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals. A particularly high-scoring game was their 4-1 victory against Colorado Rapids on February 25, 2024. However, they have also suffered a run of two consecutive defeats at home, losing 1-2 to Chicago Fire and 0-1 to San Jose Earthquakes in February 2024. The Timbers have conceded an average of 1.67 goals per game, while scoring 1.5 goals per game, resulting in a negative goal difference of -1. Notably, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six home games, with both teams scoring in 83% of these matches.
Los Angeles FC
Los Angeles FC's recent away form has been poor, with a run of three consecutive defeats in their last three away games in the Major League Soccer. They have conceded three goals in each of their last two away matches against Colorado Rapids and Real Salt Lake, indicating a particularly leaky defense. Prior to this losing streak, LAFC had won two away friendlies against Toronto FC and Chicago Fire, but their overall away form remains a concern. The team is currently sitting in 5th position in the league with 10 points from 7 games, and their away performances need to improve if they want to climb up the table.
