Frosinone vs Chievo Predictions

After an unremarkable season for both, the two sides at the bottom of Serie A clash on Saturday. Frosinone and Chievo don’t know who will be joining them in the second tier next season, but they are certain to play in Serie B. Both sides have been down for weeks, following some awful results across the campaign. Their combined points total would still leave them as low as 16th, which shows how poor they’ve been that even combined they’d be in relegation danger ahead of the final weekend.

Frosinone were beaten by AC Milan in comprehensive fashion last week. That was their 23rd defeat of the season, but will they suffer a 24th? The hosts are coming into this home clash with essentially the same chance to win as the visitors, so they could easily see Chievo cut down the gap between them. With the hosts slumping ahead of their drop to Serie B, a home defeat in their final game in the top flight can’t be ruled out.

For Chievo, this has been a limp way to end their top-flight stay. They are heading down with just 16 points to their name, which comes after they were found guilty of misleading the league over the sums received for player sales. They got off with a light three-point penalty, something which looks incredibly harsh given how few points they’ve been able to assemble. They’ve always been fighting against the odds to stay in Serie A, but now they’re bound for the second tier with a side which seems set to struggle to return any time soon.

However, could Chievo make a final day impact? They make this trip to face a Frosinone side who have been much better on their travels this term. The hosts have lost 12 of 18 games at this ground, winning only once. They’ve been beaten in eight of their last nine at home, which isn’t a great sign. Overall, the hosts have taken a single point from their last six Serie A clashes. Will Chievo be able to take advantage of that?

The Gialloblu have won the last six clashes between these two sides, which makes the visitors a tempting choice ahead of this one. The fact that Frosinone have been losing at half-time and full time in seven of their last nine at home shows how comfortably sides are winning here. Meanwhile, no team in Italy has a worse home record in the second half of games than Frosinone. Chievo are slightly better at getting a result from one half of a match, so we see value in backing them to win either half of football here, as we think they can edge out a poor Frosinone side during one of the two 45 minute periods.
