Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Spezia, 18th position with 27 points and a negative goal difference of -28
AC Milan, 5th position with 61 points and a positive goal difference of +16
Spezia win the Serie A Week 35 game on Saturday 13 May 2023 at the Alberto Picco Stadium in Milan, Italy. Spezia returned to victory after two months thanks to goals from Przemyslaw Wisniewski and Salvatore Esposito in the second half. Milan suffered another blow and fell again after the Euroderby. In the standings, three heavy points for Spezia who grab Verona at 30, waiting for the Scala. Milan stopped at 61, the Champions League area moving away. In the next round, Milan-Sampdoria and Lecce-Spezia.
Surely, a prestigious victory for Spezia who were knocked out last week in Cremona while Milan defeated in the UEFA Champions League Semifinal first leg of the Euroderby.
Spezia opened the score in the 75th minute. Przemyslaw Wisniewski defeated AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan from very close range with a right-footed shot to the high center following a corner conceded by Sandro Tonali.

✅ Stats before the game: Spezia and Milan have never drawn any of the six matches played so far, considering all competitions: in the partial, four wins for the Rossoneri (three in Serie A, including the first leg match last November, and one in the Coppa Italia) and two for the Ligurians (both in the top tournament). Leonardo Semplici’s Spezia have not won in eight league games (D3, L5) and could remain without a win for more games in a row for the first time in Serie A (eight also between November 2020 and January 2021, with Vincenzo Italiano on the bench). Spezia have failed to find a goal in 10 of the 19 matches played in 2023 – as many as in all 34 played in 2022 in Serie A – since they were promoted to the top tournament (2020/21), only Sampdoria have collected more games (40) without scoring compared to the Ligurians (34). Milan is the team that has earned fewer points in percentage terms of the total in the standings than all the other opponents in 2023: only 46%, or 28 out of the 61 overall. Milan collected 23 points in the second round of this championship, the result of six wins and five draws (4P); the last time the Rossoneri had accumulated fewer points in the first 15 games of the second half of the season in Serie A was in 2016/17, with Vincenzo Montella as coach: 20 points (W5, D5, L5) and sixth place in standings at the end of the tournament.
👉 Lineup SPEZIA (4-3-3): Drągowski; Amian, Ampadu, Wiśniewski, Nikolaou; Esposito, Ekdal, Bourabia; Reca, Nzola, Gyasi.
👉 Lineup AC MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Kalulu, Kjær, Tomori, Hernández; Tonali, Pobega; Saelemaekers, Díaz, Origi; Rebić.
