We said: Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 Los Angeles Galaxy

Both teams have been in relatively good form of late, with the big names like Gauld and Puig stepping up their games in recent outings. In a match that could be played at a very high tempo, whichever backline can withstand an onslaught the best is likely to win, and that is where we believe the Caps hold a decisive edge on LA.
