Frosinone welcome Sassuolo to the Stadio Benito Stirpe in Italian Serie A action on Friday. The sides are both in mid-table after six matchdays.

Frosinone are ninth in the Serie A standings, with 10 points after six games. They have won three, drawn one, and lost twice.

The UEFA Champions League spots are only three points ahead of them at this stage, with joint league leaders Inter Milan and Lazio six points ahead of Frosinone’s current position.

The Canarini have performed well considering that this is their first season back in the top flight since the 2023-24 campaign, but they will be focused on bouncing back from their most recent Serie A match, a 3-0 defeat away to Napoli on Saturday.

Massimiliano Alvini’s side were overpowered by the Partenopei at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with Belgian midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne scoring twice and Noa Lang netting a first-half goal in the rout.

Meanwhile, Sassuolo are in 11th place in the Serie A standings with eight points from six matches thanks to two wins, two draws, and two losses.

As has often been the case with Sassuolo, they have lifted their game when playing against elite opponents, having beaten Juventus 3-2 already this season and drawing with AC Milan in their most recent encounter at the Mapei Stadium on Sunday.

The Neroverdi made life difficult for the visiting Rossoneri, and although Adrien Rabiot took the lead for Milan with a stunning strike in the 63rd minute, Alberto Aquilani’s men kept fighting and managed to restore parity five minutes later through Cas Odenthal, with the sides sharing the spoils at the weekend.

Sassuolo have tricky top-flight matches against Como, Lazio, and Roma to come in their next four fixtures, so a positive result against Frosinone would be a confidence boost ahead of a tough schedule of games.

Frosinone vs Sassuolo prediction

Frosinone have showcased an organized, high-intensity brand of football that has earned them praise and allowed them to accumulate three wins at this early stage of the season.

Sassuolo typically adopt a possession-focused style of play and produce entertaining football, but their defensive vulnerabilities have caused them problems this season.

Frosinone have held their own since being promoted to Serie A, and they will be confident at home, so we expect this match to end in a low-scoring stalemate.
