Prediction: LAFC 2-1 NY Red Bulls
There is not much to choose from in terms of quality as both sides are evenly matches.
LAFC is topping their table while NY is in 3rd place, which sets us up for a classic.
This can go right down to the wire but LAFC’s strikers are in-form and should be able to nick this one by the odd goal.
