Player(s) to watch:
- Rafael Leao is not having the best of the season. Rafael Leao continues to be a threat in the wide areas as he does have good ball control and a decent crossing. He also was the sole goal scorer for AC Milan in their last league game against Bologna.
- Mattia Zaccagni has been beneficial for Lazio in the current season. Mattia Zaccagni has a total of 13 goal contributions in 23 league games for his side. However, he has scored only a single goal in the last five matches. His linkup play with his fellow teammates has been decent enough to get them through the opponent’s defence
