Sounders FC 2 (5-20-6, 21 points) on Saturday travels to take on Orange County SC (19-7-6, 63 points) at 7:00 p.m. PT on ESPN+. The match is the second and final meeting between the teams this season. Seattle and Orange County played to a 1-1 draw in the first meeting on September 2 at Cheney Stadium.

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.
