Top picks:

Lia Privitelli: Privitelli likes to cross the ball in the box to teammates, taking long shots into the goal and dribbling the ball. She will be one of the top picks from both sides. She has huge potential and her contribution could once again help his side in this match. She recorded five goals along with an assist in 16 league matches last season.

Melina Ayres: Ayres is a tough player to defend with her pace, trickery & combined with quality finishing ability. One of the top players in the club and a solid player who can shine this season as well. She is a proven goal scorer and must be high on confidence. In her last three league matches, she netted two goals and made an assist.
