It is difficult to look past Mehdi Taremi, when on the search for a marksman. He seems on a strong run and hit the target 4 times for FC Porto in their last 6 games. Brahim Diaz has managed to hit the target 3 times in the last half dozen matches for AC Milan. It is probably safe to say that they will both be looking to add to his tally here once again.
