Portland (7-2-1, 22 pts.) won the first two matches of the series by one goal, with last game's 0 - 1 victory in Seattle coming on a penalty kick that Sinclair converted in the 84th minute.

Portland will be without forward Alex Morgan (U.S.), midfielder Christine Sinclair (Canada) and defender Rachel Buhler (U.S.).
