Sassuolo vs Frosinone Predictions

Sassuolo jumped into the top half of the Serie A table on Monday, after their 1-0 win at Fiorentina. They were able to claim a narrow victory on the road, which sets them up for a strong finish to the campaign. Can they build on that win by claiming three points in their meeting with Frosinone on Sunday? They are hosting the second bottom side, who are slipping towards Serie B. The visitors need to spark a fightback, but are they going to come up short in this visit to the MAPEI?

Sassuolo haven’t exactly been consistent in the second half of the season, but they have managed to move clear of any relegation danger. Last term did see them pulled towards the bottom three at times, but this year the Neroverdi have been safely midtable for the duration. They are on the back of a five-game unbeaten run ahead of this clash, which has put them on course to seal a place in the top 10, a major step forward for a side who are really still establishing themselves in Serie A.

Frosinone come into this game bound for Serie B. They were 10 points shy of safety ahead of the weekend, which means this is a make or break game. Lose this and it’s back to the second tier. It’s hardly a surprise relegation, but the visitors haven’t put up the greatest fight. They’ve been made to look slightly better by the problems at Chievo, but Frosinone have still won just five league games from their first 34, which suggests they’ll struggle for a result in this trip.

Sassuolo may not be thrilling us with a long winning run, but they have been solid at their own ground this season. Just four losses in 17 games isn’t a bad return, while they are coming off a good win at Fiorentina. Confidence should be high for the Neroverdi, who managed to win the reverse fixture between these two. In fact, they’ve won five of their last six meetings with Frosinone, so we should see a victory for the Neroverdi in this one.

Frosinone have lost 10 of their 17 away trips, while they come up against a Sassuolo side who have scored 1.8 goals per game at home this term. The visitors have scored just 13 times on their travels, while they’ve lost three straight games. We see Sassuolo adding to that on Sunday, so we’re backing a home win in this clash.
