&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ATALANTA-LECCE (19/02/23, 12.30 AM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After winning the reverse fixture on 9th November 2022, Lecce could win both their matches against Atalanta in a single league season for the second time in Serie A, after 1993/94. The bergamaschi haven’t lost in 11 of their 12 home games against the salentini in Serie A (W6 D5): their only defeat was back on 13th March 1994 (3-4).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only Napoli (18) have picked up more points than Atalanta in 2023 in Serie A (14: W4 D2 L1) – the Dea have scored the most league goals this calendar year (19 goals in seven matches: 2.7 on average).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the last 50 years only two players aged 20 or fewer have scored at least five goals in Serie A in their first season with Atalanta: Rasmus Højlund in 2022/23 (five) and Franck Kessié in 2016/17 (six).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FIORENTINA-EMPOLI (19/02/23, 3 PM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will be the 26th meeting between Fiorentina and Empoli in Serie A: the Viola have won 11 times and the Azzurri six times, with eight draws, including a 0-0 draw in the first half of the current campaign; these two sides have not drawn both games of the same season since 1987/88 (0-0 in both matches).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli have the joint-most draws of any side in Serie A this season (9), along with Udinese and Lecce. They have drawn four games in 2023 alone, the joint-most with Monza.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No Fiorentina player has scored more than three goals in this campaign (Bonaventura, Cabral, Jovic and González have three goals scored): it had never happened previously in the history of the Viola that the top scorer after the first 22 Serie A games of a season had scored fewer than four goals&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SALERNITANA-LAZIO (19/02/23, 3 PM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There have been no draws in the previous seven Serie A games between Salernitana and Lazio: Lazio have four times and Salernitana three times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the beginning of November, Salernitana have picked up just five points in 10 Serie A matches (W1 D2 L7) - only Cremonese have collected fewer points in this period in the top-flight (three); the Granata have lost seven times in that streak.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio have lowered their points per game average since the World Cup in Qatar: 1.3 in seven games in 2023 (nine points in seven matches played in Serie A), versus 2.0 in the first 15 match-days of the campaign (30 points in 15 games).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SPEZIA-JUVENTUS (19/02/23, 6 PM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juventus have won each of their five Serie A meetings against Spezia, keeping a clean sheet in three of them. Indeed, they are one of the two sides, with Lazio, against which Spezia have played more than once in the competition and lost every meeting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spezia have failed to score in the last 329 minutes played at home in Serie A, since M’Bala Nzola’s strike against Atalanta in January; this is their longest goalless run in home games in the top-flight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juventus have won the most games by a 1-0 scoreline in Serie A this season (6), and they have won the most games keeping a clean sheet (13), including the reverse fixture against Spezia. The bianconeri have set a new record of clean sheets in their first 22 games in a single Serie A season in the three points for a win era (since 1994/95): 14 - the last time they had as many was back in 1985/86 - while the last time they had more clean sheets in the first 23 Serie A matches was back in 1977/78 season (16 in that case).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AS ROMA-HELLAS VERONA (19/02/23, 8.45 PM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma are unbeaten in 25 home games against Verona in Serie A (W19 D6). Indeed, among the teams currently in the competition, only against Atalanta have the Giallorossi registered a longer streak of consecutive home games without ever losing (30 between December 1950 and September 1993).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hellas Verona have picked up 12 points in seven matchdays in Serie A in 2023 (W3 D3 L1) - in this period they have the seventh-best record behind only Napoli, Atalanta, Roma, Inter, Monza and Juventus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SAMPDORIA-BOLOGNA (18/02/23 3 PM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna have won seven of their last eight Serie A meetings against Sampdoria (D1), drawing the reverse fixture this season – they could draw both seasonal matches in the competition for the first time since 2013/14.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sampdoria have drawn their last two Serie A games, against Monza (2-2) and Inter (0-0) and could keep a clean sheet in back-to-back league games for the first time since May 2021, under Claudio Ranieri.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna have won their last two Serie A away matches (both 2-1, against Udinese and Fiorentina), only once in the last 59 years have they had a longer such run in the competition: between December 2015 and January 2016, under Roberto Donadoni.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MONZA-AC MILAN (18/02/23 6 PM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Monza are on the longest run without defeat in Serie A (8: W4 D4). In addition, since Raffalele Palladino became Biancorossi manager (13 September) they have gained 28 points from 16 games (W8 D4 L4): only Napoli (45), Juventus (34) and Inter (32) have picked up more points during this period (one more than Milan, 27).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following their 1-0 victory against Torino, AC Milan could keep two ‘clean sheets’ in a row in Serie A for the first time since August 2022 (vs Bologna and Sassuolo in that case).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No team has scored with more different Italian players than Monza this Serie A season: eight, level with Empoli.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INTER-UDINESE (18/02/23 8.45 PM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inter have won their last four Serie A meetings against Udinese at the Meazza, and only once have they won more in a row (five between 1984 and 1989).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Udinese have gained the most points from trailing situations in the Big-5 European Leagues this season: 17, three against Inter in the reverse fixture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Foto LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;
