Prediction: 1-0
Columbus Crew
Subaru Park will host Sunday’s MLS game between Philadelphia Union and Columbus Crewe. The U’s have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Orlando City and Atlanta United, while sharing the spoils with New York Red Bulls. Philadelphia aim to stay in the playoffs berth, and the bookies see them as hot favourites to win the match. Both Burke and Ilson are sidelined with injuries, but there are no other absentees in the home team.
Columbus Crew, on the other hand, head into the match without Arthur, Kitchen, Molino, Morris, and Room, who are all out of contention with injuries. Caleb Porter’s charges are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. In their last meeting at the venue Philadelphia defeated Columbus thanks to Jamiro Monteiro’s goal.
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.
Highlighted Team (Columbus Crew):
Columbus Crew are an American soccer club based in Columbus, Ohio. The Black & Gold participate in the Eastern Conference and in 2008 they won both the conference and the MLS CUP final.
