Sounders FC 2 (2-6-2, 8 points) on Saturday attempts to snap a four-game winless streak as it heads to Fresno (7:00 p.m. PT / ESPN+). The match is the second and final meeting between the teams this season. Fresno FC defeated S2 on March 28 in Tacoma, 1-0, on a late strike from Jemal Johnson in the 82nd minute. S2 earned a road point in its last match on Saturday, May 19 at Reno 1868 FC. David Estrada scored for Seattle in a 1-1 draw.

In November of 2017, Seattle Sounders FC and the Tacoma Rainiers announced that beginning in 2018, Sounders FC 2's previously-announced transition to Tacoma is accelerating, allowing S2 to play its home matches at Cheney Stadium while progress continues toward a new soccer-specific facility. The two clubs previously reached a historic agreement to build a 5,000-seat facility in Central Tacoma on the footprint of Cheney Stadium. While that process moves forward, South Sound soccer fans are now able to see their USL side play in Tacoma several seasons ahead of schedule.
