DC United
Philadelphia Union and DC United go head to head at Talen Energy Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting encounter. The U’s failed to win the previous three league fixtures, but they showed character in a 1-1 draw with New York Red Bulls, with the team scoring a late equalizer with ten men on the field. Philadelphia are eyeing their fourth consecutive home win in the Major League Soccer, but keep in mind that goalkeeper Matthew Freese is banned. All Andre Blake, Cory Burke, and Alvas Powell represent Jamaica at the 2021 Gold Cup.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 7-1 win over Toronto. DC United are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Philadelphia, and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Birnbaum, Flores, Odoi-Atsem, Skundrich, and Sorga are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while Donovan Pines and Paul Arriola are on international duty with USA.
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.
