Philadelphia Union is gearing up for a significant match against Atlanta United FC at Subaru Park, marking the first of a two-game homestand in April. The Eastern Conference showdown, dubbed the Greener Goals Night and sponsored by Subaru of America, is slated to kick off at 7:30 PM ET. Fans can catch the game on Apple TV via the MLS Season Pass or tune into 97.5 The Fanatic on both its app and website for live commentary.
The starting lineup features Andre Blake in goal, with defenders Kai Wagner, Jakob Glesnes, and youngsters Nathan Harriel and Frankie Westfield. The midfield will comprise Jovan Lukic, Danley Jean Jacques, Quinn Sullivan, and Indiana Vassilev, while Bruno Damiani and Mikael Uhre lead the attack.
Philadelphia also announced an intriguing squad for the bench, which includes Andrew Rick, Oliver Semmle, Olwethu Makhanya, Neil Pierre, Alejandro Bedoya, Jeremy Rafanello, Cavan Sullivan, Tai Baribo, and Chris Donovan.
Neil Pierre, a homegrown talent, makes his second appearance on the matchday roster following a short-term contract that makes him eligible for selection tonight. The team sees some changes in its starting lineup, with Coach Bradley Carnell adjusting three positions from the last game against New York City FC.
Key milestones include Kai Wagner marking his 175th league start for the Union, making him the fifth player to achieve this in the club's history. Also, Nathan Harriel will make his 90th appearance, adding to his experience with the club.
