We said: Dallas 1-2 Los Angeles FC
Los Angeles will be determined to return to winning ways after the disappointment of their defeat to Vancouver, and we are backing Cherundolo's team to triumph. Dallas are certainly capable of picking up a positive result on Saturday, but we are backing the hosts just to fall short in this contest.
