Player to watch: Pedro
Pedro has been one of the best players in the Serie A this season, as he leads the league in both goals (6) and assists (4). The former Fiorentina forward has been unstoppable lately, scoring in three consecutive matches. He has 14 direct goal involvements in his last 10 games, scoring nine times with five assists. It will be interesting to see if Pedro can extend his scoring streak to four matches.
