With the Sounders Academy in the GA CUp final today the Tacoma Defiance are going to be shorthanded for their game against Phoenix Rising. Despite this Tacoma will be desperate to put in a decent performance on the road; so far they have have not scored away from home and have let in four or more goals in each match. Honestly, a win might be out of reach this weekend but if they can get a goal and limit Phoenix to two goals it will something they can build on for when they get their full squad back. The two defensive midfielders must give the backline more help if the Defiance are hoping to escape with less than four hung on them.
