Portland have shown the resilience that winning teams need, coming from behind in consecutive victories over Real Salt Lake and Seattle. While their defense has looked vulnerable at times, their attacking quality has consistently found the answers. Puebla, meanwhile, have been one of the weakest road teams in Mexico over the past few seasons, regularly struggling to pick up points away from home. With home advantage and the more reliable attacking threat, Portland are well positioned to extend their winning run.
