About Tacoma Defiance:
Tacoma is sitting even with Oakland on 34 points and find themselves in a very similar situation with their backs up against the wall for that same fourth and final playoff spot in the division. Tacoma had their chances against Sacramento on Sunday to jump ahead of Oakland Roots but ultimately settled for a 0-0 draw vs Republic. Former Oakland Roots Goalkeeper Christian Herrera was in goal for the shutout but has not been able to keep Roots off the score sheet when facing his former side. Tacoma is led in attack by Samuel Adeniran who has 10 goals on the year including a brace last time Oakland traveled to Cheney Stadium.
Tacoma Defiance Last Starting XI: Herrera, Ragen, Brewitt, Mueller, Baker, Mendoza, Vargas, Anguiano, Alec Diaz, Alvarez, Adeniran
