Im gonna say straight, LA is in favor, but the absence of Perry Kitchen, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Romain Alessandrini and Juninho are truly crucial and Timbers with their epic beardman mascot should rock the house.
Portland has more avg shots and has height advantage (sorry Zlatan) so that 55 percent aerial duels won can make the difference (plus not an ideal start of LA).
2:1 Portland
