Napoli Scudetto Day
It is the day of days
Against Salernitana, Spalletti can enter the history books, but the key is Sarri
👉 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).

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Spezia, 17th position with 27 points and a negative goal difference of -23
Monza, 12th position with 41 points and a negative goal difference of -5
Spezia with a wake up call to earn points for salvation after losing the Serie A Week 32 game against Monza on Friday 28 April 2023 at the Alberto Picco Stadium in Spezia, Italy. Monza conquered the peak with a goal in time: Ciurria in the 21st minute and Carlos Augusto in the 93rd-minute decree the third consecutive victory for Monza. In the second half, there was no shortage of opportunities on both sides but the hosts lacked the concreteness to find an equalizer and were punished in the final by the sixth league goal from the Brazilian winger.
Spezia, in a crisis of results and slipped dangerously close to the relegation zone.
Monza opened the score in the 20th minute. Patrick Ciurria defeated Spezia goalkeeper Bartłomiej Drągowski with a left-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Andrea Colpani.

Spezia have failed to score in six of their last eight Serie A home games, as many times as in their previous 42 home games in the top flight.
