Frosinone form and stats

The story so far in the Serie B for Frosinone at their home stadium (Stadio Benito Stirpe) is 9 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats. Frosinone has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadio Benito Stirpe. We remember; it was Como.

An away draw last time out for Frosinone, facing Ternana in a game that ended 4-4. A goal frenzy last time out for Frosinone, with a total of 8 goals in the match against Ternana. Fun stuff to watch! The hometeam coach Grosso made a successful contribution in the game against Ternana, bringing on Novakovich who scored the equalizer in the 4-4 draw. Gatti, defender, was given a rating of 8.41/10 in that game, top of the team. Gatti scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 8 of 9 duels.

Before that, Frosinone had a home game versus Cremonese which ended with a victory 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Frosinone perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Frosinone as a small favourite), we find ten games. Frosinone has won four of these, drawn five and lost one.

A decent goal production from Frosinone in their home games so far, with 29 goals from 17 league matches. From these home matches, Frosinone have conceded only 13 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
