Matchday 33 Serie A TIM 2019-20 14 - 16 July 2020 ATALANTA vs BRESCIA Brescia have won only two of their last 10 Serie A TIM games against Atalanta (D4, L4), after six wins in the previous eight matches. Atalanta have recorded six clean sheets in their last nine Italian top-flight league games vs Brescia, but they failed to find the net in four of the last six. Brescia have failed to score in their last four away games against Atalanta, however they did manage to take two points from those games. When considering only the matches played in the second half of the season, Atalanta have achieved only one win in Serie A TIM against Brescia, 3-0 in March 2001, with a brace by Ganz and Hübner's own goal - four draws and six wins for the Rondinelle in the other 10 matches. Atalanta have won their last five Serie A home matches; only twice have they recorded a longer run in Serie A TIM, in 1948 and 1968, reaching seven wins in a row on both occasions. After winning the first three away games of the current Serie A TIM campaign, Brescia have achieved just one victory away from home in the following 13, in December against SPAL – the Lopez team are the only side without a win in matches played away from home in 2020. Brescia have scored less than 21 points after the first 32 Serie A TIM MDs for only the second occasions, the other coming in 1994/95 (12) – a campaign in which they were also newly promoted. Atalanta midfielder Mario Pasalic's only brace in Serie A TIM came against Brescia in the first half of the season, which ended 3-0. Josip Ilicic played his first Serie A TIM match in September 2010 against Brescia - the Atalanta midfielder has scored a goal and provided an assist in his three games vs the Rondinelle. The Slovenian is one away from 50 goals for Atalanta in all competitions (currently 49). No Brescia player has come on as a substitute on more occasions in Serie A TIM this season than Alfredo Donnarumma (10), with all seven of his goals this season coming in games in which he has started. BOLOGNA vs NAPOLI Bologna have won their last two Serie A TIM games against Napoli, after losing six consecutive matches: the Rossoblù could win three Serie A TIM games in a row against Napoli for the first time since 1937. Napoli have scored at least two goals in each of their last six away trips to Bologna (19 in total, an average of 3.2 per game). Bologna could become the first team against which Napoli have won against in every single month of the year in Serie A TIM. Bologna won the second fixture of last season against Napoli – the last time they’ve done that in consecutive seasons was in 1976 and 1977. In 2020, Bologna have won only one Serie A TIM home game (D4, L3), 2-1 in February against Brescia. In the same period, only SPAL have recorded fewer victories (zero). Napoli have won five of their six away Serie A TIM games since the beginning of February (L1) - more than any other side in the same period. Bologna have conceded at least one goal in their last 27 Serie A TIM games (45 in total in this period); the longest current streak without a clean sheet in the competition and the longest for the Rossoblu in their Serie A TIM history. With his goal against at Parma, Roberto Soriano has now scored 15 of his 23 Serie A TIM goals under Sinisa Mihajlovic, coming for Bologna and Sampdoria (65% of the total). Dries Mertens has scored 11 goals in 10 league appearances against Bologna – more than against any other side; among the players currently in the competition, only two have more goals against a single side: Higuaín against Lazio and Immobile against Sampdoria (both 12). Among the players that have scored at least 10 goals, Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik is one of two to have not provided any assists in the current Serie A TIM campaign (also, Kevin Lasagna). MILAN vs PARMA AC Milan have scored in each of their last 13 Serie A TIM games against Parma (W9, D2, L2): it is already the longest streak for the Rossoneri against the Gialloblù in the top league. AC Milan have picked up 20 wins in their last 29 Serie A TIM matches against Parma (D5, L4). AC Milan have won six of their last seven Serie A TIM home games against Parma - the only exception being the match lost on March 2014 (2-4), with Clarence Seedorf as manager; the Rossoneri have scored at least two goals in each of those matches. After recording just one victory in their first six home games with Pioli as manager (D4, L1), AC Milan have won four of their following six matches (D1, L1). Parma have collected four points in four away matches since Serie A TIM restarted, losing their last two league games on the road: the last time the Ducali lost three consecutive away trips in Serie A TIM was on May 2015. Parma collected only one point between MD28 and MD32 (D1, L4). Last season, the Ducali gained five draws and four defeats in nine games between the MD28 and the MD36. AC Milan’s head coach Stefano Pioli was in charge of Parma for 22 Serie A TIM games, winning only three games and losing 13 (D6) – that was the lowest winning % (13.6) of his managerial career. Before Theo Hernandez, Milan's last full-back to score at least six goals in a single Serie A TIM campaign was Aldo Maldera (eight goals) in the 1978/79 season. Zlatan Ibrahimovic will play his 100th game for AC Milan (all competitons): he has scored 62 goals and provided 24 assists in his 99 appearances so far. Parma midfielder Juraj Kucka scored four goals in his 59 Serie A appearances for AC Milan. He has already found the net six times in this term, his personal best in Serie A TIM in a single season. SAMPDORIA vs CAGLIARI Sampdoria are the side Cagliari have beaten most often in Serie A TIM (W24). After two home defeats in a row, Sampdoria have since gone unbeaten in their last five home games against Cagliari in Serie A TIM (W4 D1). Sampdoria have won nine of their 33 home games against Cagliari in Serie A TIM (D18 L6). Sampdoria have won their second meeting of the season against Cagliari in four of their last five Serie A TIM campaigns (D1), this after winning none of the previous nine such clashes between the sides (D7 L2) Sampdoria kept a clean sheet in their last home match against SPAL; the last time they kept a clean sheet in two consecutive home games in Serie A TIM was back in January 2019. Cagliari have drawn their last two away league games – they haven’t drawn three away matches in a row in Serie A TIM since January 2014. Each of Cagliari's three away goals since the restart of this season’s Serie A TIM have been scored by Giovanni Simeone. Sampdoria’s manager, Claudio Ranieri, has won 11 Serie A TIM games against Cagliari – a side he took charge of between 1989 and 1991 – against no team he has won more matches. Sampdoria midfielder, Albin Ekdal, played 116 games and scored eight goals in Serie A TIM with Cagliari. João Pedro (Cagliari) has scored just one goal in six appearances since the Serie A TIM restart, this after the Brazilian had scored five goals in the previous six games before the forced stop. LECCE vs FIORENTINA Lecce and Fiorentina have shared nine wins apiece so far in Serie A TIM, with nine draws. Neither Lecce or Fiorentina have scored more than a single goal in the last six encounters against each other (eight in total across both sides). Fiorentina have won only two of their 13 Serie A TIM away games against Lecce (D6, L5), although these two wins have come in the most recent four matches - the last one being a 0-1 in May 2012, with a goal of Alessio Cerci. Each of Lecce's three home wins in Serie A TIM this season have came from February onwards against Torino, SPAL and Lazio. Fiorentina won their last Serie A TIM away game (2-1 against Parma) and could win at least two games in a row in the competition for the first time since April 2018, with Stefano Pioli as manager. Since the restart, only SPAL (3) has scored fewer Serie A TIM goals than Fiorentina (6). Fiorentina’s head coach Giuseppe Iachini has never beaten Lecce in Serie A TIM as a manager (four losses in four games), only against Juventus has he recorded more defeats (eight losses). Lecce striker Diego Farias has been directly involved in four goals in six games against Fiorentina in Serie A TIM, including one goal and two assists for Cagliari in April 2015. Lecce striker Khouma Babacar scored 27 goals in 99 Serie A TIM appearances for Fiorentina between 2009 and 2018. He scored in his only home match so far against the Viola in the league: 3-3 at MAPEI Stadium with Sassuolo in December 2018. Patrick Cutrone has scored three of his last five Serie A TIM goals as a substitute, after his first 10 in the competition had been scored in games played as a starter.
