Giovanni Savarese's team have had a demanding schedule, playing two of those three matches away from home against quality opposition. However, their defeat by St. Louis City at Providence Park was a surprise.
Portland also lost to Atlanta United, who easily defeated Timbers 5-1 last week. Savarese's team was powerless in this situation since they were unable to cope with the pressure United put on their midfield.
LA Galaxy have played three matches, with two draws and one defeat. They have one game in hand, El Trafico, which was initially scheduled to open the season but was postponed due to bad weather.
In their debut encounter, which took place in Texas against FC Dallas, the hosts prevailed 3-1. Following that, Galaxy recorded consecutive draws against Sporting Kansas City and the Vancouver Whitecaps at home.
