The visiting Frosinone side should be favourites in this visit to Cosenza, as the away team holds a 17 point advantage from their 24 league games this season.

Cosenza and Frosinone should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Cosenza form and stats

With 2 Serie B wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Cosenza are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Cosenza, their manager G. Pillon and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Cosenza enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Livorno's place. The match ended 3-0 with Raúl Asencio (2) and Mirko Bruccini scoring. Preceding that match was the home game against Benevento that was lost 0-1.

Cosenza decided the match against Livorno in the first half, and held firmly on to their lead (3-0) without using too much effort. The team showed great control while saving some energy.

Cosenza have scored 9 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Cosenza have conceded 11 goals.

Frosinone form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie B matches, Frosinone have produced an overall stat of 3-4-5 so far. The fact that Frosinone have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Frosinone love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

396 minutes! That's how long the Frosinone goalkeeper Francesco Bardi and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

The supporters enjoyed Frosinone's previous game versus Perugia (placed 11th), a Serie B 1-0 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Venezia at their stadium, the result 1-0.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Frosinone have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Frosinone - Cosenza 1-1.
