Frosinone

Bologna

Things are perhaps just starting to look a little pessimistic for Frosinone. Newly-promoted from Serie B last season, they could add their name to a long list of teams that fail in their first Serie A season. The gap between Frosinone and safety is seven points, which isn’t concerning in itself, but their form is a worry, they’re win-less in their last eight games, a stretch that has included six losses. They’ve conceded 24 goals over those eight games, they’ve got by far the worst goals against record in Serie A with 48 conceded over 22 matches.

Bologna are headed in the opposite direction. A three-game unbeaten stretch, including back-to-back wins against Sassuolo and Sampdoria have moved them up to 10th in the table, and they’ve got a little bit of a cushion, 10 points, on the relegation zone.

Head-to-Head

Bologna won the first leg of this tie 1-0, that was at home. The two teams played twice in Serie B last season, where Frosinone won 2-1 at home, the other encounter was a 2-2 draw. Since their first meeting in 2015/16, it feels like Bologna have opened up a little and are perhaps better positioned to trade chances and goals with Frosinone.

Teams News

Domineco Maietta is missing from Bologna’s defence, but for this most part, this team is healthy and even Maietta should make a prompt return.

The same can’t be said for Frosinone, who have more than eight players currently listed as unavailable, including Roberto Crivelli and Oliver Kragl from that defence, which is currently leaking goals.

Betting Tip Reason

There’s no reason to believe that Frosinone will keep a clean sheet here. All of the numbers, the form book and their playing style suggest that they will open themselves up to chances and they will concede their fair share of goals. Bologna have scored five times in their last two games and there are just signs that they’ve been forced to play a more aggressive style because they can’t rely solely on that defence. Keeping Frosinone at bay playing away from home won’t be easy.
