Continuation of the 18th day of Serie A this Sunday afternoon. The promoted Venice traveled to Campania to face Antonio Conte’s Napoli on the pitch at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. On the Partenopei side, the objective of this duel was to stock up on points to put pressure on the direct competitors for the Scudetto and thus consolidate its place on the podium at the dawn of 2025. The Arancioneroverdi wanted to score valuable points for getting your head above water and moving away from the red zone. In a match dominated by the locals, it was Antonio Conte’s players who quickly proved dangerous but unfortunately, Romelu Lukaku’s penalty was stopped by Filip Stankovic (37th).
At the break, the score was goalless. In the second half, the Neapolitans continued to push without success until the goal of the savior Giacomo Raspadori (79th) which allowed Naples to win (1-0). In the ranking, Napoli still remains in a good position with this beautiful 2nd place, while Venice is still in bad shape with this worrying 19th position. Next weekend, the Partenopei will go to Tuscany to challenge Fiorentina at home, while the Arancioneroverdi will host Empoli, during the 19th day of the Italian championship.
