We said: Los Angeles FC 2-1 Portland Timbers
Los Angeles' recent home form means that it is hard to envisage any other outcome rather a win for them. While we expect Portland Timbers to put up a decent fight, we just about fancy the hosts to secure the points at the end of the 90 minutes.How to watch
