Andre Blake GK vs. Joe Willis GK
Andre Blake of Philadelphia Union stands out with an outstanding season record in goalkeeping for their league standing. Over 25 starts, Blake has amassed 8 clean sheets which has contributed immensely to Union’s standing in the league. Boasting 69 saves to date, Blake has shown time after time his instinctive skills to thwart even the most dangerous attacks while conceding 24 goals over those same 25 starts; these goals exposed moments of fragility when confronted by pinpoint shots from strikers such as Nashville’s Hany Mukhtar amongst others. Blake will need to stay firm at goalpost should that happen again if challenged by Hany Mukhtar from Nashville who will try and score.
Nashville SC’s Joe Willis has proven himself an effective last line of defense this season. Out of 29 starts this year, he’s amassed 9 clean sheets while making an impressive 86 saves – showing both agility and readiness even when under high-pressure situations. However, like Blake, Willis too has his weak moments allowing 27 goals. As Philadelphia boasts such powerful attackers as Daniel Gazdag and Julian Carranza; Willis must remain focused to keep Nashville competitive throughout.
