✅ Stats before the game. Great balance in the five matches between Salernitana and Genoa in Serie A: two successes for each side and a draw. The first leg match last October 27th between the two teams was won by Grifone, 1-0, thanks to a goal by Albert Gudmundsson. Salernitana won both home matches against Genoa in Serie A (9 November 1947 and 2 October 2021); only against Lazio and Sampdoria have the Campanians achieved more home successes in the top division (three against both). Genoa are unbeaten in five league games (1W, 4D); in the period (since mid-December), only Inter, Juventus and Milan have not suffered any defeat like the Grifone. Salernitana have won only one of their last 10 matches at Arechi in this Serie A (4N, 5L) – 2-1 against Lazio last November 25 – and have conceded 20 goals in the period: a negative record in home matches in the championship in course. Salernitana occupies last place in the standings with only 12 points, the result of two wins and six draws (12P); in the era of three points for a win, only two teams survived with 12 or fewer points collected after the first 20 Serie A matches of the season: the Granata team in 2021/22 (11 points at this point of the tournament) and the Crotone in 2016/17 (10).

👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Week 20 RESULTS / Twentieth Round on Saturday 13, Sunday 14, and Monday 15 January 2024. Inter are the absolute leaders with 51 points followed by Juventus with 49 points in the second position.
Inter crushed Monza with a 1-5 at the U-Power Stadium. Inter are just ruling big time. It seems Inter are unstoppable commanding the league. Juventus keeping up the race for the Scudetto after defeating Sassuolo with a 3-0. The gap is just -2 points below. Everything can happen.
Milan beat Roma and are at 42 in the standings, nine points behind leaders Inter but nine points behind fifth-placed Lazio. Roma instead wasted a chance to get closer to fourth place, slipping five points behind Fiorentina. Surely, a week to forget for Mourinho’s men, eliminated in the Italian Cup by Lazio and defeated this evening.
The bad news is for Napoli struggling to defend their title. Napoli, despite their victory against Salernitana, stepped down to the 7th position with 31 points. Bologna lost the game against Cagliari, though, are in the 6th position with 32 points. Cagliari gained momentum because the victory helped them to abandon the relegation zone.
The relegation zone is hot and the situation can change next week. Frosinone and Sassuolo have 19 points each. Udinese and Cagliari have 18 points each. Hellas Verona are in the 18th position with 17 points.
Atalanta with a brilliant performance crushed Frosinone with a mega goleada 5-0 at the Gewiss Stadium. Koopmeiners opened the score from eleven meters in the 8th minute, then in the 13th minute, it was Ederson who converted Ruggeri’s precise cross, followed by De Ketelaere’s powerful conclusion in the 14th minute which he sent the ball under the crossbar, making the most of Marten De Roon’s through ball. In the 83rd minute, the poker, an effective change of play by Pasalic who catches Zappacosta, then perfect control from the substitute winger who beats Turati with an effective shot. In the 90th minute, it is Holm who signs the 5-0.
