Frosinone vs Sassuolo prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2023-09-16 13:00.
Frosinone seem to have learnt from past struggles as they picked up four points from their first three league matches this season, a tally they needed ten games to reach in their last Serie A (SA) stint in 2018/19. After rebounding from a 3-1 matchday-one loss to Napoli with an eye-catching 2-1 win over Atalanta and a goalless draw at Udinese, the Yellow and Blues now have a chance to stretch their unbeaten run to three top-flight games for the first time since November 2018.
Playing at Stadio Benito Stirpe could turn out to be an advantage here, as both competitive wins for Frosinone this term have come at home. The fans are unlikely to be given much time to settle at the start if their previous outings are anything to go by, as Eusebio Di Francesco’s men have taken a 1-0 lead in the first ten minutes in each of their last three competitive matches there.
The international break may have come at the wrong time for Sassuolo, who won 3-1 against Hellas Verona on matchday three, snapping a two-game losing start to the league campaign in a contest that saw them score as many goals as in their previous four SA games combined.
Playing the top-flight new boys this matchday might not frighten them much however, as the Neroverdi have never lost a H2H (W6, D4). That includes winning their last four away matches against Frosinone, further increasing hopes of securing back-to-back SA wins for the first time since March. That said, it might not be smooth sailing for the visitors, who are winless across their last six away league games (D1, L5) – their worst such run since a streak of eight in season 2018/19.
Players to watch: Abdou Harroui has taken a liking to these surroundings since making the switch from Sassuolo this summer, becoming the first Frosinone player since October 2015 to score in consecutive SA home matches. For Alessio Dionisi’s side, a lot of hope will be pinned on the performance of Domenico Berardi, who scored a brace in his first league game of the campaign last time out, and has goal contributions in his last two away H2Hs (G1, A1).
Hot stat: Sassuolo’s SA games have averaged a league-high 13.67 corners per game after three rounds.
