Player(s) to watch:
- Tammy Abraham is very much a modern centre-forward; he combines his size and speed well in certain moments to do things not many others in Serie A can do. One of his biggest strengths is his movement, more specifically, targeting pockets of space and charging into them using impressive athleticism. Abraham has the frame to be able to score goals even if there are defenders between him and the net. He can receive it with his back to the goal, spin and fire. Due to his upper body strength, he can bully his opponents on the field. Even though he is more of a back striker right now for Milan but he is still a key player for them. In 24 games, he has scored two goals and provided three assists.
- Moise Kean is a versatile attacker who moves between the lines to offer himself to his teammates and generate a more dynamic offensive game. His blistering speed and dribbling skills make him a nightmare for defenders on the counterattack. He also has great static dribbling that is very useful against rivals who close down the space. He has an elite change of pace accompanied by his dribbling on the run to reach the box and finish the play, one of his greatest virtues. His finishing skills inside the box are really good, and due to his fine form this season, Fiorentina are performing quite well in the league. In 27 matches, he has scored 16 goals and provided three assists.
