✅ Stats before the game: The balance between Empoli and Salernitana is in perfect balance in Serie A, thanks to one win for each side and three draws; in these meetings, neither team managed to keep a clean sheet. Salernitana are unbeaten in two away matches against Empoli in Serie A (W1, D1); both teams found the goal in these two matches (seven total goals: 3.5 per match). Salernitana have remained unbeaten in only two of their eight Serie A away games against Tuscan teams, exactly the two in the series played against Empoli: a 3-2 success on 14 February 1999 and a 1-1 draw on 14 May 2022 . Empoli have won all of their last three Serie A matches played on Monday, without conceding goals, it is the same number of victories they had achieved in all their previous 14 matches in the top flight on this day of the week (D4, L7); on the other hand, Salernitana ended four of the five matches played on Monday in the competition (1L). After the success against Bologna in the most recent match, Empoli could win two matches in a row in Serie A for the first time since last January (against Sampdoria and Inter in that case).

👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2022-2023 Italian Serie A Week 34 RESULTS / Thirty-fourth Round on Saturday 6, Sunday 7, and Monday 8 May 2023.
✅ Here is the situation: 👉🏆🇮🇹 Napoli won the 2022-23 Serie A Scudetto on Thursday 4 May 2023 after the 1-1 draw with Udinese. Napoli are Italian champions with 5 rounds to spare: no team has ever done better in the history of Serie A. Forward Victor Osimhen equaled George Weah (both 46 goals) as the 1st African top scorer in Serie A history.
We have another verdict. After 11 seasons in Serie A, Sampdoria is arithmetically relegated to Serie B. With this defeat, Sampdoria remained at 17 points in the 20th position, 13 points away from the salvation quota which is now no longer reachable.
As reported by Lega Serie A, Victor Osimhen, 47th goal in Serie A, the first from the penalty spot in the competition. Osimhen is now the African player to have scored the most goals in the Italian top division (surpassed George Weah with 46 goals). Third penalty saved out of 14 faced by Pietro Terracciano in Serie A TIM, two of which against Napoli (today against Victor Osimhen and on 16 May 2021 at the Franchi against Lorenzo Insigne).
Lazio have not made a single shot on target in a Serie A match for the first time since October 2020 (against Sampdoria).
Inter have won three consecutive away games without conceding a goal in Serie A TIM for the first time since December 2021 (against Venice, Rome and Salernitana).
Roma have not won any of their last 13 Serie A TIM matches in which they have conceded a goal (D6, L7).
La Cremonese has found the net in all of the last four home games of the tournament for the first time since April 1996 (four in that case too).
Cremonese have won six of their last seven home games against Spezia between Serie B and Coppa Italia (D1), keeping clean sheets in all of the last six.
Juventus have won 22 games without conceding in all competitions 22/23: among the teams in the top five European tournaments, considering all competitions, only Barcelona (25) and Manchester United (23) have done better than the black and whites.
Against no team has Vlahovic scored more goals in Serie A TIM than against Atalanta: five, of which three in Bergamo.
Antonio Sanabria is the first Torino player to score in three straight home games in Serie A TIM since Andrea Belotti in July 2020 (four home games in goals).
Gianluca Caprari has scored five of his last six away Serie A TIM goals.
Verona won their first away game of this championship; the previous away success in Serie A TIM dated 30 April 2022 at Cagliari (1-2).
Verona have won all of their last four Serie A TIM matches played against Lecce; against no other team in the tournament, the Gialloblù boast a longer open streak of consecutive successes (four also against Venezia).
Tyronne Ebuehi provided two assists in the match against Salernitana: the last Empoli defender to provide two winning passes in a single Serie A match was Manuel Pasqual (vs Crotone on 12 September 2016).
