North Texas SC desperately need points on Sunday, Aug 9 at 2:45 AM in the MLS Next Pro. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
North Texas SC come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). Tacoma Defiance, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. North Texas SC head into this on the back of a defeat, while Tacoma Defiance arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
In 7 previous meetings, North Texas SC lead 3–1 with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Tacoma Defiance won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives North Texas SC a slight edge, but Tacoma Defiance are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
