Tacoma Defiance (2-6-1, 7 points) continues its road stint on Wednesday evening with a match at Portland Timbers 2 (0-10-0, 0 points) at Providence Park. The match was previously scheduled for Saturday, August 29 but moved due to August 30 due to a conflict with a Portland Timbers MLS home match, then rescheduled for September 9 following a potential COVID-19 case within Portland's traveling party.
Defiance is currently amidst a four-match losing skid after beginning the USL restart with a three-match unbeaten streak. In the most recent result, Defiance fell 1-0 at Real Monarchs on September 4. Both of Tacoma's wins this season have come against Timbers 2 in a pair of shutout victories on July 18 and August 3.
