Tacoma Defiance get the opportunity to put a stop to their four-game losing streak on Wednesday night when they play the first of two games within a week against Portland Timbers 2. This match has been rescheduled twice, most recently due to a possible COVID-19 case within the Timbers 2 group. The postponement now provides Defiance with an opportunity to regroup ahead of the home stretch of their 2020 season. In a strange and difficult season, Portland remain the only side that Tacoma has beaten.
Tacoma (2-6-1, -2) are on the outside looking in at the playoff race, currently sitting 14 points behind Sacramento Republic FC with seven games left to play.
