Prediction: 1-0
Philadelphia Union
Thursday’s football game at Geodis Park pits together Nashville and Philadelphia Union, the two top-table sides. Nashville aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Chicago Fire, with the team eyeing their seventh consecutive win at home ground and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Philadelphia. Influential attacker Hany Mukhtar is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while defender Nick DePuy remains on the sidelines with injury.
The U’s, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Atlanta United (0-2) and Los Angeles Galaxy (1-3) and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the midweek fixture. Defender Kai Wagnr misses out with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. When the two teams met in a friendly earlier this year Nashville defeated Philadelphia 2-0.
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.
