Osimhen, Lookman battle for supremacy
Nigerian duo, Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman will go head to head when Napoli and Atalanta clash in a Serie A fixture at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Saturday (today).
Osimhen is available for selection again after missing Napoli’s trip to leaders, Inter Milan before the international break.
The 25-year-old like in previous campaigns has struggled with injuries but that has not stopped him from making appreciable impact at the club.
The forward has scored 11 goals in 17 league appearances for the Partenopei.
Lookman has continued to impress for Atalanta following an impressive debut campaign last term.
The 26-year-old is La Dea’s joint top scorer this season with eight goals from 22 games.
The winger has also registered three assists.
The previous league fixture between both clubs saw Napoli come out on top 2-1, with Lookman scoring the only goal for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side, while Osimhen assisted a late winner for Napoli.
