Frosinone form and stats

Frosinone are steadily winning Serie B games and points here at Stadio Benito Stirpe. 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats is the summary from 15 games. Frosinone are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Benito Stirpe, having lost their two previous games here.

F. Dionisi was the last player to score a league goal for Frosinone and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Frosinone haven't scored in 381 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager A. Nesta led his Frosinone to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Chievo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Benito Stirpe. Ahead of that match, Frosinone lost 0-2 at home to Cittadella.

Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Frosinone as a small favourite), we find two games. Frosinone has won one of these, drawn zero and lost one.
