Prediction: 1-1
Philadelphia Union
Columbus Crew will look to recover from a 3-2 loss to Inter Miami and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Philadelphia. Columbus are eager to secure a top-two finish, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Both Zawadski and Bush are out of contention with injuries, while defender Rudy Camacho misses out through suspension.
The U’s, on the other hand, are eager to climb to the playoffs berth, but beating Columbus on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that both sides should be happy with one point from Sunday’s encounter. Denmark forward Mikael Uhre is banned for the visiting side, while defender Isaiah LeFlore remains on the sidelines with injury. You should know that the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in their last meeting at Lower.com Field.
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.

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.
