Osimhen and Martinez are battling each other for this season’s top scorer award in Italy’s top flight.
Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen could put daylight between him and Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez in the battle for Capocannoniere this weekend.
Osimhen currently leads the race in this season’s Serie A top scorers’ charts, having scored 23 goals for Napoli.

However, Osimhen could still end up without the top scorer award this season, as he is just three ahead of Lautaro Martinez.
Osimhen appeared to be cruising initially, but Martinez picked up form at the business end of the season, scoring six goals in his last five matches for Inter Milan.
Nonetheless, Osimhen can move clear of Martinez this weekend as Napoli host Inter Milan in their Serie A clash at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
