Portland Timbers will take on LA Galaxy in the MLS at Providence Park on Wednesday.
LA Galaxy are leading the Western Conference by 55 points from 29 matches. Second-place Los Angeles are seven points behind with two games in hand so the visitors need to continue picking up wins to stay ahead and safe.
Portland, who are currently eighth, haven't managed to win in any of the last five meetings against Galaxy and will find this clash difficult as well.
