Los Angeles FC and Portland Timbers wrap up the MLS action this weekend on Sunday evening when they face off at the Banc of California Stadium with both sides in pretty good form ahead of this all-Western Conference clash.

Los Angeles currently sit in second spot but are just one point behind Conference leaders, FC Dallas, ahead of tonight’s fixture, and LA are in a hot vein of form right now as they’ve won six of their last seven matches overall in the MLS, and still remain unbeaten on home turf this season.

A solid home record of  5-3-0  17/6 includes having won their last three at home on the trot with victories gained over Columbus Crew 2-0, Philadelphia Union 4-1 and a 4-1 thumping of Orlando City, and as you can see, the goals have also been flying in with the likes of Diomande (9 goals), Rossi (6 goals) and Blessing (5 goals) cashing in. Carlos Vela (7 goals) could also figure this evening after arriving back from World Cup action with Mexico.

Portland Timbers are also in a rich vein of form as they’ve put together an 11-match unbeaten run which has helped lift them up into fifth place and also Final Series play-off contention with just five points now separating them from tonight’s opponents, Los Angeles FC.

Portland’s solid season though has been largely built around a solid home record which has seen them remain unbeaten at their Providence Park in Oregon so far this season, but an away record of  3-3-3  14/17 shows an element of inconsistency.

The visitors have turned things around though in recent weeks on their travels as they’ve won three of their last four with wins at San Jose Eathquakes, Colorado Rapids and Seattle Sounders, but they’ll face their biggest test yet here tonight.
