We said: Los Angeles FC 2-1 Minnesota United

 Los Angeles have failed to score in each of their last four matches, but we can see them finding the back of the net against a Minnesota side who have not kept a clean sheet in their last six outings. We are also tipping the home side to carry the day come the sound of the final whistle.
