After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Frosinone and Virtus Entella in this fresh Serie B season. Read our match preview!
It's no vacation for neither Frosinone nor Virtus Entella as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
9 - 11 - 15 with 45-51. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Virtus Entella when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Virtus Entella play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
Frosinone form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Frosinone's two home games in the Serie B so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadio Benito Stirpe.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Francesco Bardi not having conceded a league goal in 213 minutes.
A nice win for Frosinone last time playing, versus Ascoli. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Alessandro Salvi scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Venezia.
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 eight games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Frosinone as they are travelling to their away game against Pescara in the Serie B. That match is four days after this one.
Frosinone has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Virtus Entella form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first Serie B away game of the season. During their previous season 19 away games resulted in 4 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats.
Entella delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Reggina (placed 5th) in their previous match; a Serie B game. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Reggiana.
As mentioned above, Entella drew the match against Reggina. Manager B. Tedino brought on Matteo Mancosu to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
Entella are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and three defeats. From a total of seven matches.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Venezia in just four days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Virtus Entella has managed 0 goals and let in 0 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Frosinone, one draw and three wins for Virtus Entella. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
