Goal Statistics

Los Angeles FC's defensive record is very strong, S. Cherundolo's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Major League Soccer games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.4 for Portland Timbers makes sense in this context.

Los Angeles FC's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday night, not least because Portland Timbers have conceded in each of their last 17 Major League Soccer games. A PG of 1.8 for S. Cherundolo's side suggests that run should continue.
