We said: DC United 2-1 Real Salt Lake

DC United have been very good on their home soil over the last month, and with Benteke up front, they have a much-needed focal point to their attack, which has been working well for them. This fixture ended 0-0 last season, but DC have come a long way since then, and while this will likely be another close encounter, we fancy the hosts to come out on top.
