We said: Los Angeles Galaxy 1-2 Nashville SC

The opening postseason fixture will feature two of the most potent strikers in the league this season, and while LA may have a little more depth in the attack, Nashville can shut down the best strikers in this league. We believe they have an edge at goalkeeper, plus their experience in the postseason is greater than the Galaxy's, so we expect them to pull out a narrow victory. Read more.
