LAFC vs. Portland Betting Odds and Info

Why Bet on LAFC?

The Los Angeles FC are in 5th place in the West with a record of 10 wins, six draws, and five losses. They last drew 3-3 with LA Galaxy at home, extending their unbeaten home streak to three matches.

LAFC has built a reliable record at home, where they remain unbeaten in 83% of their last 12 home games. They averaged almost three goals per match in that period.

The absence of Eddie Segura through suspension opens a space in defense, but Los Angeles FC still retains attacking potency with players like Bouanga, who has delivered in key moments.

Why Bet on Portland?

Portland sits just behind LAFC in 6th place with nine wins, seven draws, and seven defeats. They remain unbeaten in six straight league games.

Portland appears eager to improve its standing, but the team typically struggles at LAFC’s home ground. Additionally, they may face difficulties handling LAFC’s offense since Zac McGraw is out with a back injury, which could leave their defense vulnerable.

With the other two key players out of the match, this may not reinforce the team’s confidence.
