The Portland Timbers (11-13-8) play host to LAFC (20-4-8) with a win being enough to secure the Timbers a playoff spot.

Storylines So Far

While the Timbers could clinch a playoff spot with three points, LAFC could also win the Supporter’s Shield with a victory in Portland. Having said that, LAFC have been in relatively poor form for a club chasing major honors this late in the season. The Black and gold have won just three times since August 16, losing to San Jose, Austin, Houston, and Dallas in the process to take 10 points from a possible 24 in that span.
