Tacoma Defiance (2-3-1, +3) get their first chance to wash the taste of their loss to Reno 1868 FC from last weekend out of their mouths tonight as they travel back down to California to face Sacramento Republic FC (3-1-3, +2) for the second time since the restart. In their first meeting, a 3-3 draw, Tacoma roared back with two goals in the second half to earn the result after giving up three consecutive goals in the first half.
The Defiance enter this Saturday night game well-rested, not having played in a full week due to their midweek fixture with Las Vegas Lights FC being postponed.
