We said: Los Angeles FC 2-1 San Jose Earthquakes

A recent blip in form will worry Los Angeles, and yet another derby defeat will certainly sting, but the benefit of home advantage and their opponents' leaky defence should help them secure maximum points on Saturday. Able to produce goals from a variety of sources, the hosts should score more than once and reaffirm their grip on first place in the standings. Read more.
