Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 2nd position with 39 points and a positive goal difference of +22
Spezia, 17th position with 13 points and a negative goal difference of +21
Napoli failing to win the Serie A Week 19 game defeated by Spezia on Wednesday 22 December 2021 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Napoli, Italy. Napoli won the last Serie A match, played against Milan; the Neapolitans could put two successes in a row in the competition for the first time since last October. However, this is a very important victory at Napoli for Empoli claiming the 3 precious points with a view to salvation. Spezia reaching 16 points.
The own goal by Juan Jesus in the 37th minute giving the victory to Spezia. A great joy for Spezia Coach Thiago Motta giving a great Christmas Present to the fans. The prestigious victory at the Maradona became the perfect gift. Definitely, an upset for Napoli.

✅ Stats before the game. The two comparisons of the last championship are the only ones between Napoli and Spezia in Serie A: both teams achieved a success, always in the away match. Napoli have not drawn a Serie A match against Ligurian opponents since November 2019 (0-0 v Genoa); since then, eight wins and two defeats, in a partial in which the Neapolitans have scored as many as 28 goals (2.8 per match average). Napoli have not won any of the last eight Serie A games played on Wednesday (4N, 4P); the last success of the Neapolitans on this day of the week dates back to July 2020, against a Ligurian team (2-1 v Genoa). Spezia have only won two of the eight Serie A games played on Wednesday: they complete three draws and three defeats, including the most recent two; however, the last success of the Ligurians, on this day of the week, dates back to January 2021: 2-1, just against Napoli, at the Maradona stadium. Napoli have lost their last two home league games; the Neapolitans have not recorded a longer streak of defeats, at home, in Serie A, since January 2020, when they reached four in a row in the transition period between Carlo Ancelotti and Gennaro Gattuso.
