The difference-maker: Francisco Conceição
Francisco Conceição, 23 · Juventus · RWF · Classic winger
Moneyball Scout picks Francisco Conceição as the player most likely to decide this match, with a Moneyball Score of 69 against every winger in Europe's top five leagues (attacking 65, defensive 25).
- Accurate crosses: 1.98 per 90 minutes, better than 95% of wingers
- Shots: 2.97 per 90 minutes, better than 73% of wingers
- Dispossessed: 0.74 per 90 minutes, better than 72% of wingers
Lazio concede only 0.6 goals a match this season (1.43 expected): breaking that defence is the job of a classic winger like Francisco Conceição.
