He has posted one or more crosses and at least one tackle in the last four fixtures, accumulating six (two accurate) and nine (five won), respectively, and adding three shots (two on target) and four key passes over that span.

He has logged multiple tackles in the last five matches, totaling 12 (six won) and also posting six interceptions, 10 clearances and 11 crosses (five accurate) over that span, contributing to one clean sheet.

Marco Palestra - Held in check by Atalanta Palestra drew five fouls and had two shots (zero on goal), one tackle (zero won), two interceptions in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Atalanta.

Impact Palestra was often roughed up before he could get going and wasn't as impactful as in previous tilts, failing to launch a cross for just the second time in the campaign and snapping a five-game streak of performances with at least one scoring chance. He provided two assists in the last four rounds and has taken at least one shot in the past three, totaling five (one on target).

Gianluca Gaetano - Strikes again versus Atalanta Gaetano scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Atalanta.

Impact Gaetano bagged his second consecutive goal thanks to a pretty combination with Sebastiano Esposito and a clutch finish in front of the goalie. He has come off the bench in the past four matches, also due to small injuries and lack of conditioning, but the recent good showings could help him find room in the XI. He has recorded four shots (all on target), three chances created, three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in the last six matches (two starts).
