You might be surprised but after the opening five rounds of the league Frosinone sit above Napoli in the table. The modest side picked up ten points and only dropped points against Juventus with a narrow 0-1 loss. Their recent home win over Como by 2-0 stands as one of the biggest shocks of the season so far with goals from Giacomo Calo and Giorgi Kvernadze proving decisive. No one should take this team lightly as they keep finding ways to grab results week after week.
Team Form
Frosinone have been in fine shape during the early part of the campaign collecting ten points from their opening fixtures. Apart from the defeat to Juventus the lads have scored freely and picked up points in almost every outing. Napoli on the other hand have looked shaky under Massimiliano Allegri with just a handful of wins and very little attacking spark across six games in all competitions. The visitors have managed to score more than one goal in only two of those matches.
- Frosinone scored in all but one league game this season
- Napoli kept just one clean sheet in their last five outings
- Frosinone beat Como 2-0 at home before the break
- Napoli won only once when scoring multiple goals this term
Tactical Analysis
Allegri has struggled to get the attacking unit firing with Napoli often relying on narrow wins or draws. The team lacks width and creativity up front which has left them vulnerable in transitions. Frosinone on their part play with plenty of energy and press high when they can forcing mistakes from bigger sides. Their record against Napoli in the league is poor with just one cup win in history but the current form suggests they can cause problems on the counter.
Both sides have shown they can concede and the visitors especially have leaked goals lately. Expect open play with chances at both ends as Frosinone push forward while Napoli search for their rhythm. The midfield battle will be key with Calo likely to influence proceedings for the home team.
Betting Proposal
Looking at the numbers and current shapes the types point toward goals from both teams in this fixture. The lads from Frosinone keep finding the net while Napoli have failed to keep many clean sheets on the road.
Both teams to score at 1.67 looks the sharp call together with Frosinone not to lose by more than one goal at 1.70.
