Frosinone form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats. It's three draws from Frosinone's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Frosinone won their last game, 2-1 versus Crotone played at home. Frosinone goalie Federico Ravaglia was high and low in the Crotone game, contributing six saves towards the victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager F. Grosso when Emanuele Cicerelli scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute. The end of the last match, against Crotone, was very satisfying as Emanuele Cicerelli scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia got the top player rating of the team with 8.01/10. Ravaglia stopped the opponent with six saves.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Alessandria.

We have checked recent matches where Frosinone have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were zero victories, one draw and four defeats.

The visiting Frosinone have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 6 goals from 5 games. The Frosinone defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 5 games).
