For their penultimate home match, the Tacoma Defiance play the only team they have ever played in the USL, the Colorado Springs Switchbacks. The Switchbacks also happen to be the team one spot ahead of them in the standings. A win for Tacoma will go a long way towards ensuring they don’t finish at the bottom of the table for the first time in their history.
It is going to be a tough matchup for the Switchbacks. While the Defiance offense has come alive in the season’s final months, their defense can be taken advantage of. Unfortunately for the Switchbacks, they sit at the bottom of the league in goals scored (27) and have a shocking 8 percent shot conversion rate, which would be a true outlier if you were to do some statistics.
