We said: Vancouver Whitecaps 2-0 Real Salt Lake

The Caps seem to feed off the energy that their home crowd has provided them, and they have slowly been chipping away at the hole that they dug themselves at the start of the campaign. RSL have been more impressive and consistent, although they do not have an excellent track record at BC Place, winning only once there since 2013, so we expect the star players of Vancouver to shine and carry them to victory in this one.
