👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2022-2023 Italian Serie A Week 32 RESULTS / Thirty-second Round on Friday 28, Saturday 29, and Sunday 30 April 2023. Napoli remain the sole leader with 78 points. Mathematically speaking, Napoli will have to wait until Round 33 to claim the Scudetto after ending with a draw Round 32 against Salernitana at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Boulaye Dia’s equalizer silenced the Napoli fans postponing the “Scudetto Party” after Mathias Olivera opened the score in the second half. Boulaye Dia equaled Salernitana’s record for goals in a single Serie A season: 12 like Marco Di Vaio in 1998/99. For the first time in Serie A, Napoli scored 79 points after 32 matches (always considering three points for a win).
Napoli will have to wait until Wednesday or Thursday to celebrate. After Juventus’ draw against Bologna, now only one point will be enough for Napoli to give the mathematical certainty of the title. But the Scudetto could arrive at the hotel as early as Wednesday, yes, if Lazio fail to beat Sassuolo at the Olimpico.
The Champions League race remains open with Inter, AC Milan, and AS Roma sharing 57 points each. Lazio remained in the 2nd position despite losing the game against Inter. Juventus ended with a draw against Bologna, though, are in the 3rd position.
Fiorentina have won a game by at least five goals for the first time since Fiorentina-Genoa 6-0 on 17 January 2022. With the goals from Duncan, Dodò, Terzic, Fiorentina’s total goalscorers in Serie A TIM rise to 13 in 2023, no team has done better in the set (Atalanta also has 13).
Juventus have gone unbeaten in their last 22 games against Bologna in Serie A (W17, D5), the Bianconeri’s longest open streak without defeat against teams currently in Serie A.
In 2023 Riccardo Orsolini is the Italian player who has scored the most goals in Serie A TIM (seven like Domenico Berardi).
Lecce won a home match in Serie A TIM for the first time since last January (2-1 vs Lazio). Lecce kept a clean sheet at Via del Mare in Serie A TIM for the first time since February 2020 (4-0 vs Turin).
Monza have scored 22 points in their first 16 away matches in the league; the last team to have recorded this result in the first 16 away games in Serie A was Chievo in 2001/02 (22 points). Nine of Monza’s last 10 goals (excluding own goals) have been scored by different players: Izzo, Sensi, C.Augusto, Colpani, Rovella, Caldirola, Mota, Pessina and Ciurria.
Milan and Roma have drawn in back-to-back Serie A games for the first time since 2013. Rafael Leão has been involved in 19 goals in the current championship (12 goals and seven assists), equaling the number of goals registered in the whole of the last Serie A TIM season (19 – 11 goals and eight assists).
It’s the second time in his career that Antonio Sanabria has scored double digits in a single season after 11 for Sporting de Gijón in 2015/16 in the top five European leagues.
Lautaro Martínez is the third Inter player to score more than 15 goals in at least three consecutive Serie A seasons in the last 55 years, after Christian Vieri (between 2000/01 and 2002/03) and Mauro Icardi (four, between 2014/15 and 2017/18).
Empoli and Sassuolo have never drawn in 12 matches in Serie A: in the history of the competition, no match has been played more often without ever finishing in a draw. Sassuolo are unbeaten at home in their last five Serie A matches (W4 D1), their best run at the Mapei Stadium since February-May 2021 with Roberto De Zerbi on the bench.
Simone Verdi returned to score in two consecutive Serie A TIM matches for the first time since May 2022, when he wore the Salernitana shirt.
Cremonese drew a home match in Serie A TIM for the first time since last November (vs Milan).

👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2022-2023 Italian Serie A Week 31 RESULTS / Thirty-first Round on Friday 21, Saturday 22, Sunday 23, and Monday 24 April 2023. Napoli remain the sole leader with 78 points. Mathematically speaking, Napoli could collect the Scudetto next week!!!!!!! Yes, here is how: If Inter beat or draw with Lazio next weekend while Napoli defeat Salernitana, Napoli will have won the Serie A title. Simple as 1+1. Napoli have a +17 lead over Lazio in the 2nd place with 61 points.
Note: On Thursday 20 April 2023, the Sports Court within the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) ruled that the punishment against Juve must be reevaluated and as such, the 15-point penalty was suspended. In sum, three months after Juventus lost 15 points, Juventus got its 15 points back. Therefore, Juventus, who were in the 7th position climbed to the 3rd position after recovering their 15 points reaching 59 points.
Napoli have won both of their seasonal matches against Juventus in Serie A for the fourth time in their history, having previously succeeded in 2009/10, 1986/87 and 1957/58. Giacomo Raspadori’s goal (92` 48″) is the latest goal scored by a Napoli player against Juventus in Serie A since Opta collects this type of data (since 2004/05).
In 2023, only Roma (21) have won more points at home than Verona (17) in Serie A TIM. Simone Verdi’s penalty goal is the first from the penalty spot by a Verona player in Serie A TIM since the one scored by Gianluca Caprari against Spezia on 6 March 2022.
Salernitana remained unbeaten in eight straight games for the first time in their history in Serie A (W2, D6). Boulaye Dia (11 goals) is one of only two Salernitana players to have scored more than 10 goals in a single Serie A season, alongside Marco Di Vaio (12 in 1998/99).
Torino went unbeaten at the Olimpico for three consecutive matches (W1, D2) for the first time in the era of three points for a win in Serie A. Torino beat Lazio in Serie A TIM for the first time since 26 May 2019, ending a run of seven consecutive matches without success with the biancocelesti in the tournament (D4, L3).
Bruno Amione scored his first goal in Serie A TIM today in 21 appearances in the top flight: 20 of these, the Argentinian played with Sampdoria in this tournament.
Romelu Lukaku hadn’t found a goal from open play in Serie A TIM since 13 August against Lecce, 253 days have passed since then. Lautaro Martínez became the first Inter player to score at least 15 goals in three or more consecutive seasons in Serie A TIM since Mauro Icardi, between 2014/15 and 2017/18 (four in that case).
It was since 22 May 2022 against Salernitana that Udinese failed to score three goals in a Serie A TIM first half.
Isaac Success managed to score with his 35th shot made this season.
It was 18 April 2018 that Fiorentina hadn’t lost a match in Serie A from a two-goal lead, at home against Lazio (3-4).
Michele Di Gregorio’s is the 4th assist provided by a goalkeeper in this Serie A: since Opta collected this data (2004/05), only in 2020/21 have there been more winning passes by full backs (5) in one single season of the tournament.
