We said: Chicago Fire 1-2 Los Angeles Galaxy

This is expected to be an entertaining encounter after both sides have started the season quite well, but entering this match on the back of a derby win could be the boost that Galaxy need in this away fixture. Chicago have not scored a flurry of goals this season, which will play into the hands of Galaxy, who can then use the hosts' lack of attacking threat to make sure they outscore their opponents.
