Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Spezia, 14th position with 5 points and a negative goal difference of -4
Napoli, 2nd position with 11 points and a positive goal difference of +8

Napoli win the Serie A Week 6 game defeating Spezia on Saturday 10 September 2022 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Napoli, Italy.    A precious victory thanks to the late goal by Giacomo Raspadori gave Napoli the momentary solo leadership, waiting for the matches of AC Milan and Atalanta. Spezia remains at 5 points. We might say it is a much suffered victory because Spezia put up a strong fold until the end. In the next round, Napoli will play the away game against AC Milan, while Spezia will play an important salvation game against Sampdoria.

Napoli opened the score in the 89th minute. Giacomo Raspadori defeated Spezia goalkeeper with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Gianluca Gaetano.

✅  Stats before the game: In the 4 previous Serie A games between Napoli and Spezia there have been 2 victories for each, both obtained by the team that played the match away. In the previous six seasons of Serie A, Napoli have always reached at least 12 points after the first 6 games played (currently after five games it is at 11) – to go back to a lower result after the first six rounds, we go back to the season 2015/16 (nine points in that case). Spezia is in line with the results obtained in the two previous Serie A championships after the first five games played: 5 points in this tournament, there were four in 2021/22 and five in 2020/21; in both the two previous tournaments the Ligurians were defeated in the sixth game. After drawing his first Serie A match against Napoli as a coach, Luca Gotti has remedied four defeats in his last four matches against Napoli: against no team he recorded a worse average points in the maximum tournament.  One of the three braces scored in Serie A by Giacomo Raspadori came against Spezia, taking over from the bench at the Peak on December 5, 2021; that was also the last game the former Sassuolo striker played against the Ligurians in the top tournament.  Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has scored four goals in his first five Serie A games: if he hits the target with Spezia, he would become Napoli’s second fastest player in the era of three points per win (since 1994/95) to reach five goals in the maximum tournament (six appearances, in fact) – better than him only Edinson Cavani, five goals in five appearances in 2010/11.

👉 Lineup  NAPOLI (4-3-3): Meret – Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Mario Rui – Anguissa, Ndombele, Elmas – Politano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia.

👉 Lineup SPEZIA (4-4-2): Dragowski – Ampadu, Kiwior, Nikolaou – Holm, Agudelo, Bourabia, Bastoni, Reca – Gyasi, Nzola.
