The Portland Timbers are the in-form team in Major League Soccer at the moment, winning their last six matches in succession. Gio Savarese is starting to put his mark on this team in the Pacific Northwest.
Without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the LA Galaxy managed to pull off back-to-back wins after a poor run of form. With the Swede back against FC Dallas during the week, they lost. There might be a pattern starting to form.
It's difficult to look past the Portland Timbers at the moment given their recent form.
