We said: Columbus Crew 2-1 Los Angeles FC

 Winning consecutive titles is difficult, and given all of the matches that LAFC have played this year, the Crew will likely be a little fresher, which could make the difference in what promises to be a nail-biting affair. The overall quality of the Crew and home-field advantage may give Columbus more of an edge and propel them to another MLS Cup title.
