Frosinone form and stats

Frosinone have collected 13 points from their Serie B home games so far after 3-4-4.

It's back home for Frosinone, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Virtus Entella away with the result 3-2. Raffaele Maiello, Lorenzo Ariaudo and Pietro Iemmello found the net in that victory. Preceding that game was the away draw at Ascoli that finished 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Frosinone have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost three.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Frosinone here at Stadio Benito Stirpe in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 11 games). 12 goals have been conceded.
