We said: Columbus Crew 3-2 Los Angeles FC

These are two deserving finalists with plenty of experienced players who have a knack for showing up in big moments, and indeed, this encounter could go either way. In the end, we have a little more faith in Nancy, who always seems to get his tactics right, while his side may have a psychological edge, having thumped LAFC earlier in the 2024 MLS campaign (5-1).
