Players to Watch

Rafael Leao (AC Milan)

The 26-year-old doubled the lead for AC Milan in their previous league outing and will be gearing up to help his side on the attacking front once again. In 20 league games of the ongoing season, he has scored nine goals and has two assists to his name. Rafael Leao is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan)

Marcus Thuram will be looking to step up his game so that he can come up with a top performance to help his side. He has scored seven goals and has three assists in 21 Serie A matches this season. The 28-year-old will lead the attack from the front for FC Internazionale Milano and is surely going to create problems for the Rossoneri.
