Portland Timbers Players to Watch

Midfielder Bill Tuiloma (#25) is a fundamental piece of the Timbers' offense by scoring a goal last game against Inter Miami CF and is the team's leading scorer in the tournament with 5 goals in 14 games played. Another key player for the team is the Argentine Sebastián Blanco (#10) who is the team's biggest assistant with 4 assists in 14 games played and is a fundamental piece to generate dangerous plays for Seattle. He also scored 2 goals so we could also see him scoring in Saturday's game. Lastly, Yimmi Chará (#23) plays in the midfield position, he is the team's second highest scorer, he has scored 3 goals during the tournament and has also had two assists. All three players are considered key to the Portland Timbers' offensive attack and will be of paramount importance if Portland is to win.

Portland Timbers in the tournament

The Portland Timbers had not a great start to the season in the Major League Soccer, it is expected that they can improve as the tournament progresses. Until week 15 of the tournament they have a total of 15 points with 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses. They are located in the twelfth position of the western conference and if they want to improve their place in the general table they will have to win the game. In their last game in the MLS they lost 2-1 against Inter Miami CF and in this way they got their third consecutive loss. They arrive as the least favorites to win this game, however they could surprise and win.

LA Galaxy Players to Watch

The next three players are considered key to the LA Galaxy's offensive attack and any one of them is likely to score in the game against the Portland Timbers. Mexican player Javier Hernández (#14) or better known as “El Chicharito” is the team's creative, his ability to control the ball and generate plays have been of great value to his team. He was the author of a goal in the last match, in 14 games played he has achieved 6 goals and an assist, this makes him the highest scorer and the fourth highest assistant of the team. Forward Samuel Grandsir (#11) is another game distributor on the floor that is very important, he is the team's biggest assistant, he has generated 3 assists in 7 games as a starter and 7 coming off the bench. Lastly, 22-year-old forward Dejan Joveljic (#99) who is the team's second-highest scorer with 3 goals in 11 games coming off the bench. They leave at his young age he has achieved a lot in the team, he is a very important substitute who wants to be able to start in the team and it is very likely that we will see him scoring in the game.

The Los Angeles team has a great tournament so far in the MLS, after 7 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses they have 23 points in the general table that puts them in fifth position in the Western Conference.
