Seattle Sounders 2 vs Tulsa Roughnecks FC: live stream, game time, and lineups

After a brief break, which they were able to spend celebrating their new title as Princes of Cascadia, Seattle Sounders FC 2 return to action against the Tulsa Roughnecks tonight. S2 are fresh out of a tailspin, having steadied themselves with two straight victories to end their six game loss streak. That said, they still have a lot of work to do if they want to make the playoffs. They need to start beating teams above them in the standings, especially at home. If they can beat Tulsa tonight, S2 will legitimately be back in the playoff race.

The backline should start to have some semblance of stability with Denso Ulysse returning from injury and the signing of Australian left back Steve Whyte. While the U16 players who have been filling in at fullback have shown well enough, they aren’t quite ready for the USL level. The addition of two experienced fullbacks should do a lot to stabilize what has been a chaotic few months for the S2 defense. With Zach Mathers, Felix Chenkam, and Irvin Parra all on a hot streak, the offense should be able to carry the team if the defense can just put in decent performances.
