After opening the season with two matches at Cheney Stadium the Tacoma Defiance are in Tulsa for their inaugural road match. The players returning from 2018 will have good memories of their last trip to Oklahoma where S2 had their best match of the season, beating the Tulsa Roughnecks 4-1 to get their first road win on the last day of the season. Besides that victory the Defiance (then S2) have struggled to get results against the Roughnecks with just one draw among five losses.
The Defiance will be hoping to get this young season back on track after losing last Saturday 3-0 to perennial bottom-feeders LA Galaxy II.
