Portland on paper is one of the best teams of MLS. However they had a very bad start this season as in first 5 games collected 2 wins and 3 losts. In the last game they managed to beat San Jose but hosts missed a penalty where the result was still 0-1.
Coach Giovanni have a long injury list for this game too,adding to some players who are doubtful.
Best striker Niezgoda didn't played any game and he is still out. Best mid Blanco is doubtful, and also 1st gk Attinella (5/0) will be probably on bench.
Out are also mid Paredes (5/1), 3rd gk Ivacic (0/0), 2nd gk Clark (3/0), def Jome (3/0), mid Chara (7/0) and def Mabiala (7/0).
With both gk out, it will be again Ketterer who is coming from lower divisions and it's his 2nd game in MLS.
Los Angeles Galaxy in other hand started very good this season. So far they collected 4 wins and 1 lost in 5 games.
Striker Chicharito is in great form scoring 7 goals in 5 games. But also all players who signed this year are very decisive for the team.
Ambitious are big this year and yesterday they signed mid Raveloson from Troyes of Ligue 2, one of the best players.
No important missings for this game and new def Coulibaly is also in the team and should start from the bench.
LA Galaxy is in better form and big motivations in this game, in contrary of Portland Timbers who are still suffering the long injury list.
I think guests should be able to get at least a draw as differences in this moment are not big.
GL!

波特兰纸面上是美国职业足球大联盟最好的球队之一。然而,他们本赛季的开局很糟糕,前5场比赛2胜3负。在最后一场比赛中,他们成功击败了圣何塞,但是主队错失了一个点球,结果仍然是0比1。
乔瓦尼教练在这场比赛中也有一长串的伤病名单,还有一些球员的伤势还不确定。
最好的前锋涅兹哥达没有参加任何比赛,他仍然没有上场。最好的中后卫布兰科值得怀疑,第一名阿提内拉(5/0)可能会在板凳上。
同样出局的还有mid Paredes (5/1), 3rd gk Ivacic (0/0), 2nd gk Clark (3/0), def Jome (3/0), mid Chara(7/0)和def Mabiala(7/0)。
随着门将双双出局,凯特勒将再次从低级别联赛中脱颖而出,这是他在大联盟的第二场比赛。
另一方面,洛杉矶银河队本赛季开局非常好。到目前为止,他们在5场比赛中4胜1负。
前锋小豌豆状态良好,在5场比赛中攻入7球。但是所有今年签约的球员对球队来说都是决定性的。
今年雄心勃勃,昨天他们从法甲的特鲁瓦那里签下了中后卫瑞维罗森,他是最好的球员之一。
这场比赛没有重要的缺阵,新的后卫库利巴利也在队伍中,应该从替补席开始。
洛杉矶银河队在这场比赛中有更好的状态和更大的动机,而波特兰的木材队还在忍受着长时间的伤病困扰。
我认为洛城银河应该至少能得到一个平局,因为此刻的差异并不大。
