Player Stats
Dusan Vlahovic is on the verge of making history with Juventus, as he aims to score in four straight matches following his goals against Genoa, Leipzig, and Cagliari. The last time he achieved this feat was during his time at Fiorentina in November and December 2021, when he netted in five consecutive games. Notably, the Serbian striker has found the back of the net six times in seven league encounters against Lazio, showcasing his versatility with two headers, two right-footed goals, and two left-footed strikes. His record against Cagliari is even more impressive, with seven goals scored in Serie A.
Nuno Tavares has made quite an impact in Serie A this season, racking up five assists in just five matches. The only player who has outperformed him in the top five European leagues for the 2024/25 season is Bukayo Saka, with seven assists. Additionally, Tavares has the chance to become the first defender to achieve assists in four straight Serie A games since records began in the 2004/05 season.
