Chievo vs Frosinone Predictions

Serie A’s bottom two meet on Saturday, as they look to boost their survival hopes. The pair are bottom with a combined 15 points – the tally of 17th placed side Udinese. Clearly, safety is a long way off for these two, who have claimed a single win between them so far this term. That’s left them at the foot of the table, looking at a drop to Serie B. Can either of these two sides boost a dismal campaign with three points in this relegation six-pointer?

Chievo have just a third of that 15 point total, following an awful season to date. They come here struggling for form, failing to win any of their matches to date. With 18 games played, they’ve got a terrible record behind them to date, especially after they had three points taken off them. Can they end the first half of the season on a high, or will this be yet another slip up for the league’s bottom side?

Frosinone aren’t much better off, they’ve been left five points shy of safety in their first season back in the top flight. The visitors have a single win from their last 18 games, following their 0-0 Boxing Day draw with AC Milan. The away side are winless in their last eight overall, while they have a dreadful record in front of goal. They’ve scored just six times in their last nine on the road. Will they add to that paltry tally in this trip?

We expect a close game, one which isn’t likely to be that entertaining. The pair have little in the way of a winning mentality. Meanwhile, Chievo have seen under 2.5 goals in their last six games. The hosts have failed to score in almost half of their league games, while they have the worst home record in the division. Can they change that in Saturday’s relegation battle?

The visitors come here on the back of consecutive draws, while their last away trip saw them finish level with Udinese. We see them picking up another point on the road, with Chievo unable to win a home game since May. The hosts have drawn six of their last seven matches in the league, and we see them finishing level against Frosinone this week. There’s little between the two in their record so far, so we see this finishing level. A draw is our tip here, along with a 1-1 final score.
