👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Serie A Week 12 RESULTS / Twelfth Round on Friday 10, Saturday 11, and Sunday 12 November 2023. The battle for the Scudetto changed from a three-way to a two-way. The race is very tight with Inter in the 1st position with 31 points and Juventus with 29 points. The third place is for AC Milan with 23 points who wasted the chance to keep up with the race after the draw with Lecce. Milan are now -6 points below Juve and -8 below Inter. Let’s see if the race remains with just 2 contenders or whether we will see a change in the upcoming rounds.
The Serie A Week 13 will return on Saturday 25 November after the International Break.

Hellas Verona living a nightmare defeated by Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium. Surely, this is an important victory for Genoa who obtained three valuable points in the direct clash with Verona. Radu Dragusin’s volley on an assist from Haps decided in the first half. This is the fifth consecutive defeat for Verona, who after the double victory in the first two matchdays have only collected two draws in the last nine matchdays.
Milan cannot afford to lose more points if they want to battle for the Scudetto. Lecce and Milan ended with a draw at the Via del Mare Stadium. The winless streak continues for both teams but, given how the match was going, today’s result should be considered very positive for Lecce who are once again moving up their rankings, rising to 14. However, extremely negative feelings for Milan unable to manage the double advantage obtained in the first half and almost lost the game after a VAR review disallowed Lecce’s third goal.
A terrible home defeat for Napoli while Empoli conquered the Maradona in the last minutes with this prestigious victory. Surely, it is a great result for Empoli thanks to Kovalenko’s Eurogoal in the 91st minute. Great achievement also for Empoli Coach Aurelio Andreazzoli achieving five victories in six matches as coach against Napoli. Empoli got now 10 points in the standings, temporarily detaching themselves from the less noble areas of the standings. MVP is a sensational goalkeeper Berisha, author of at least four enormous saves. Napoli instead stumbles again: defeat after three useful results in a row and failure to overtake Milan in the standings, as the Azzurri remain at 21 points.
Fiorentina returned to victory after three defeats and joined Atalanta in fifth place on 20 points, Bologna, after a long positive series, found defeat again and remained stuck on 18. Fiorentina won a very hard-fought match full of reversals. The home team took the lead thanks to a surgical conclusion from Giacomo Bonaventura, the Emilians equalized with Zirkzee on a penalty. In the second half, it’s another penalty spot kick that restored the distance, with Gonzalez displacing Skorupski and giving Fiorentina the three points.
The Derby della Capitale between Lazio and Roma ended with a goalless draw at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Previously, Lazio and Roma have faced each other 158 times in the league. In previous matches Lazio won 42 times, Roma won 56 times while there were 60 draws. We might say it is a disappointing result for both.

Empoli won the Serie A Week 12 game on Sunday 12 November at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Napoli, Italy. A terrible home defeat for Napoli while Empoli conquered the Maradona in the last minutes with this prestigious victory. Surely, it is a great result for Empoli thanks to Kovalenko’s Eurogoal in the 91st minute. Great achievement also for Empoli Coach Aurelio Andreazzoli achieving five victories in six matches as coach against Napoli. Empoli got now 10 points in the standings, temporarily detaching themselves from the less noble areas of the standings. MVP a sensational goalkeeper Berisha, author of at least four enormous saves.

✅ Stats before the game: No draw in the last nine Serie A matches between Napoli and Empoli: six successes from Campania (including the two from last championship) and three from Tuscany; the Neapolitans won both matches against Empoli 2-0 in the 22/23 tournament and have never obtained three clean sheets in a row against this opponent in the competition. Seven home wins, one draw and two away successes in the 10 Serie A matches played between Napoli and Empoli in Campania: in eight of these matches, the Neapolitan team scored at least two goals. Napoli’s performance in this championship is very different between home and away: away from Maradona the Azzurri average 2.33 points in six games, while at home the average drops to 1.4 in five games. Empoli established its new record of defeats (eight) in the first 11 days of the championship: only in three other circumstances had the Tuscans collected seven or fewer points at this stage of the Serie A tournament (2003/04, 2016/17 and 2018/19, three seasons ended with relegation to Serie B). Napoli have collected 21 points so far: since Serie A returned to 20 teams (2004/05), only one team has managed to win the Scudetto despite collecting 21 or fewer points in the first 11 matches of a top division (Juventus 2015/16, which was at 15 at this point in the tournament).
👉 Lineup NAPOLI (4-2-3-1): Gollini; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Ostigard, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka; Politano, Raspadori, Elmas; Simeone.
