Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Frosinone in 8th and Empoli in 11th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Frosinone and Empoli.
Frosinone form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadio Benito Stirpe as Frosinone have scored 14 goals to get 17 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Serie B are 5-2-0 (wins-draws-losses). Ever since the Cosenza game Frosinone has been unbeatable here at Stadio Benito Stirpe producing four straight wins.
Frosinone's last game was hosting Empoli (placed 11th) and winning 4-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Spezia.
As mentioned above, Frosinone "killed" Empoli in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Frosinone handle that role? We have found three games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The win/draw/lost stats in these games are W1-D1-L1.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (14 in 7 games), Frosinone's attacking play is working. Frosinone have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 3 goals.
Empoli form and stats
There's been little loot from Empoli's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Serie B. Empoli only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws. Empoli seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Empoli play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Frosinone (placed 8th). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Venezia.
Empoli lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
Empoli are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. From a total of two matches.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Empoli have conceded 13 goals in these games.
