Napoli are the sole leader and win the Serie A Week 21 game defeating Speziaon Sunday 5 February 2023 at the Alberto Picco Stadium in Spezia, Italy. Napoli commanding in the second half. Kvaratskhelia gave the lead after converting a penalty. The doubling comes thanks to Victor Osimhen who takes advantage of the black and white defense’s sleep after a bell tower in the area kicked by Ampadu and heads ahead of Caldara and Dragowski making it 2-0. The third blue goal comes from the high pressure of Spalletti’s team, with Caldara who with a back pass serves in the area Kvaratskhelia who fakes the conclusion and serves Osimhen who only has to deposit in the net with an empty net.

✅ Stats before the game. Napoli, on the other hand, are an insatiable machine that produces play and results, with a more than deserved first place in the league. Four consecutive victories against Sampdoria, Juventus, Salernitana and Roma have allowed Spalletti’s team to extend the standings and move to +13 on their pursuers. Today another important opportunity to further extend as today’s evening there will be the Milan derby between Inter and Milan, the main opponents for the Scudetto fight. Spezia comes from two consecutive defeats collected against Bologna and Rome, with four goals conceded (two per match) and zero goals scored. Mbala Nzola’s injury meant a lot in terms of offensive contribution and the Juventus club resorted to the incoming market, inserting the Uzbek Eldor Shomurodov, on loan from Roma, in the squad. Spezia and Napoli have faced each other five times in their history in Serie A, with the precedents in favor of the Azzurri leading by three victories, against the two black and whites. No draw so far, therefore, between the two teams in the top Italian championship.
👉 Lineup Spezia (3-5-2): Dragowski; Ampadu, Caldara, Nikolaou; Amian, Bourabia, Esposito, Agudelo, Reca; Verde, Shomurodov.
👉 Lineup Napoli (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Mario Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Lozano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia.
