Players to Watch
Fiorentina
It’s been a fantastic season so far for the hosts in this fixture. Moise Kean has been a driving force up front with 13 goals in Serie A so far this season.
Adding 2 assists to that tally sees the 24 year old contributing to 15 goals in just 21 appearances in the current campaign.
Inter
Sticking with strikers and we turn our attention to Inter’s 13 goal striker Marcus Thuram. The Frenchman has been in fantastic form since joining the former Serie A champions.
Four assists alongside his 13 goals in 22 games really proves the danger that Thuram threatens in front of goal.
