We said: Los Angeles FC 2-0 Vancouver Whitecaps

The Black and Gold have been in so many of these big games and found a way through, and there is no reason to believe that will change this weekend. As brilliant as the Caps were in the attacking third on Wednesday, penetrating the LAFC backline may prove to be a much tougher chore, and their opponents rarely need more than a half-chance or two to win, which is why we are tipping the home team to emerge victorious.
