Players to Watch
Sebastian Esposito (Cagliari)
The Italian striker has been plying his trade with Inter Milan since 2019. But has served more time as a loanee across clubs like Sampdoria and Empoli before again being loaned to Cagliari in 2025. As Cagliari are going through difficult times, we expect Esposito to step up and lead the attack.
In 19 games, he has scored three goals and given two assists.
Gleison Bremer (Juventus)
Bremer has played for Atletico Mineiro and Torino before making a move to Piedmont with Juventus in 2022. He has been a strong pillar of defence for Juve and will be keen to secure yet another clean sheet. In 10 games, he has scored a goal and given two assists.
