"I mean, we have to stay humble and stay home, but we can't get ahead of ourselves, feel too good, and then go on the road to Portland and get stung, which would take away the momentum. We've got humble guys in that locker room who understand, with great veterans that have been around the game a long time and are helping our young players in the process."
"In every phase, they're executing the game plan, playing for each other, and reaping the rewards of their focus, concentration and mentality."

FC Dallas sit ninth in the Western Conference on 37 points with a game in hand and are unbeaten in their last six MLS matches (W3 D3). The team has won its last two home games and shows strong attitude, veteran leadership, and young-player development, but must stay composed across the final four fixtures. Portland Timbers are seventh on 43 points and also lack a secured playoff spot, having won only once in seven matches since the Leagues Cup. Portland drew 1-1 with Vancouver, with manager Phil Neville criticizing the side's inability to convert scoring opportunities.
