Prediction: 1-1
Philadelphia Union
After more than 20 days without action, Vancouver Whitecaps return to MLS duties full of energy when they host Philadelphia Union at BC Place. The Canadians impressed before the break with a thrilling 3-2 victory over St. Louis City, and they remain one of the toughest sides to beat at home this season. Even though Adekugbe, Gauld, and Veselinovic are sidelined, Vancouver boast enough depth in their squad to compensate for those absences.
Philadelphia Union, meanwhile, aim to hold onto top spot in the Eastern Conference, and they too will see this as an important fixture in the playoff race. Defender Olwethy Makhanya is suspended, which could force some reshuffling at the back for Jim Curtin’s side. Both teams are known for their attacking ambition, but with playoff positioning the main focus, a balanced approach may prevail. Given Vancouver’s home strength and Philadelphia’s consistency, the two sides could easily cancel each other out in what promises to be a tightly fought battle.
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 (Vancouver Whitecaps):
Vancouver Whitecaps are yet another Canadian side that compete in Major League Soccer. Vancouver began play in the USA top flight in 2011 and one year later they became the first Canadian outfit to book their place in the MLS Cup play-offs. However, star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy proved to be a big catch for the Whitecaps in the knockout round. Vancouver, though, did remarkably well to win the Canadian Championship in 2015, with the team beating Montreal Impact in the title game.
In 2016 they made it to the final of the tournament as well, but Toronto FC eventually won the trophy. The Whitecaps are owned by Greg Kerfoot, Steve Luczo, Jeff Mallett and Steve Steve Nash, the former NBA star, and they play their home matches at BC Place. Speaking of MLS games, the capacity of the venue is 22.120 and you should know that the stadium was opened back in 1983. The Caps wear white shirts and white shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is blue.
