Player to watch: Sebastiano Esposito
Sebastiano Esposito was impressive in the first half of the season and had racked up eight Serie A goals by mid-January. However, things have not gone swimmingly for the former Venezia forward, as he has failed to score in his last 13 appearances for the club. It will be interesting to see if Esposito will get back to scoring ways against his former team.
