Our prediction for this MLS match:
Philadelphia Union will be aiming to keep their fourth consecutive clean sheet when they take on Montreal on Sunday morning. The U’s have been impressive at the back and they are likely to adopt yet another defence-minded approach against Montreal. Both Andre Blake and Isaiah LeFlore are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Canadian outfit, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-2 win over DC United. Montreal, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Philadelphia’s party at Subaru Park. To make things even more complicated for the away team, both Samuel Piette and Mathieu Choiniere are banned for the match. The likes of Coccaro, Jabang, Lappalainen, Martinez, and Opoku miss out with injuries. In their last meeting at the venue Philadelphia crushed Montreal 3-0.
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.
