Hello, my friends. Here are the 2022-2023 Italian Serie A Week 18 RESULTS / Eighteenth Round on Friday 13, Saturday 14, Sunday 15, and Monday 16 January 2023.
✅ 10 Serie A Game Completed
⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 18 (Updated on Monday 16 January 2023)
Napoli humiliated Juventus at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Napoli crushed Juventus with an astonishing 5-1, a result not seen in 33 years! It was in 1990 and Napoli’s Bigon beat Juventus 5-1 in the final of the Italian Super Cup. Juventus saw their streak of eight consecutive victories without conceding a thunderous break, also risks being hooked by Inter, in case of success against Hellas Verona. Surely, this is a strong victory for Napoli on their quest for the Scudetto and a tough lesson for Juventus.
Cremonese fell and remain in the last position after losing against Monza at the Giovanni Zini Stadium. Fireworks match at ”Zini”: Monza wins three goals ahead thanks to Ciurria and Caprari (2), then a reaction from Cremonese with Ciofani and Dessers which however is not enough to avoid yet another defeat. In the standings, a leap for Monza rise to 21 points while the Grigiorossi remained at the bottom at 7. Monza with a high motivation to face Juventus on Thursday 19th January at the Allianz Stadium against for the Coppa Italia’s Round of 16.
Mission accomplished. Inter defeated Hellas Verona at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy. Inter took home the full 3 points. Inzaghi’s men, therefore, surpass Verona thanks to the goal that arrived at the opening of the match with Lautaro Martínez and reach Juventus in third position. Inter hit the fifth consecutive result, the gialloblù instead interrupt the mini positive streak and do not move the standings remaining at 9 points. In the next round, Inter will play at home against Empoli while Hellas Verona will host Lecce.
Lecce and AC Milan ended with a draw at the Via del Mare Stadium. Lecce is coming from an excellent moment, a draw and a victory since the restart of the championship. Lecce come from five useful results and the last defeat dates back to the end of October. AC Milan grabbed only 1 point and not an ideal result. However, the draw is more like a defeat for Lecce who were leading 2-0. Napoli’s resounding victory over Juventus gives Milan the opportunity to return to second place alone.
Roma passed the home test defeating Fiorentina. The hero is Argentinean forward Paulo Dybala scoring both goals and assisted by forward Tammy Abraham. Roma hooking up Atalanta and Lazio with 34 points. The fight for Europe is getting exciting, with six teams in four points. The match was also decided by Dodó’s expulsion in the 23rd minute for a second yellow card: the Viola, outnumbered, only found opportunities in the final, when Rui Patricio moved up the game by saving on Kouamé. Abraham first serves a ball from the chest that Joya bags with a powerful shot from the edge, then the former Chelsea player serves the Argentine a ball that is easy to bag that closes the match.

Stats before the game. Atalanta are unbeaten in the previous four (W1, D3) in Serie A against Salernitana. The two teams drew both matches played at the home of the Dea in the top division (0-0 in 1947 and 1-1 on 2 May). Atalanta have lost their last three matches played at the Gewiss Stadium in the league; in its history in Serie A, only three times have the team from Bergamo recorded more home defeats in a row: four in November 1997, five in November 1978 and four in March 1952. Atalanta have conceded 18 goals this league season; the last time the Dea had conceded so few goals after 17 Serie A seasonal matches was in 2000/01 (15 in that case). Salernitana hasn’t won any of their last five league games (D2, L3); with Davide Nicola at the helm, only once have the Campania players recorded a longer streak of matches without success in Serie A: in the first seven games of the Piedmontese coach at the helm of the granata in the tournament (between February and April 2022). Salernitana has never won in the 11 away games played so far against teams from Lombardy in Serie A: two draws and nine defeats, with five goals scored and 23 conceded.
