The last time the Portland Timbers went down to Carson, things, um, didn’t go so well. But that Timbers team was a very different one than the one that is currently rocketing up the standings. Portland head to California in the midst of an eight-game unbeaten run, which includes their current four-game win streak. The Timbers are a team in the ascendency and they are facing a foe that is spiraling - the LA Galaxy.
The Galaxy are still a talented foe and they’re one that is backed into a corner, which can make even the teams in the poorest form desperate and dangerous.
