Philadelphia Union
A highly anticipated MLS clash is set for Saturday as FC Cincinnati welcome Philadelphia Union to TQL Stadium. The hosts come into the contest low on confidence following a disappointing 1-0 defeat to New York City, a performance that raised concerns about their creativity and sharpness in the final third. Adding to their woes, Cincinnati will be without key players Nwobodo, Orellano, and Robinson, which leaves coach Pat Noonan with limited options in midfield and defense.
Philadelphia Union, on the other hand, travel in buoyant mood after dismantling Chicago Fire 4-0 over the weekend. The U’s showcased their attacking power and fluid teamwork, with multiple players getting on the scoresheet, underlining the balance and depth in their squad. While Jim Curtin cannot count on Glavinovich, Blake, and Bender, his side still look far more settled and cohesive compared to the struggling hosts. Taking everything into account, Philadelphia’s strong form and greater squad unity suggest they are closer to grabbing all three points.
Highlighted Player (Andre Blake):
Andre Blake is a Jamaican goalkeeper who plays for MLS club Philadelphia Union. Blake was born in May Pen, Jamaica, on November 21, 1990, but he went to the UConn college in United States of America. The 193-cm-tall shoot-stopper spent three years playing college football and in 2014 he signed a professional contract with Philadelphia Union.
Andre Blake made his debut for the U in July 2014 in a friendly game against Crystal Palace and he played his first MLS match against Montreal Impact. Speaking of his international career, the goalkeeper made his Jamaica debut on March 2, 2014 in a 2-0 victory over Barbados. Later that year Andre Blake won the Caribbean Cup with the Reggae Boyz as they defeated Trinidad and Tobago on penalties in the title game.
Over the years Blake has established himself as a first-team regular and, no doubt, there is a bright future ahead of him. The Philadelphia Union shoot-stopper wears the number 18 on his shirt.
