AC Milan vs Frosinone prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2023-12-01 19:45.
In the absence of some key strikers, AC Milan’s latest 1-0 Serie A (SA) victory over Fiorentina was led by Theo Hernández, as the Rossoneri cut their deficit from top spot to six points coming into this round. The Rossoneri took some pressure off head coach Stefano Pioli, who saw his side collect their first league win since early October, whilst Francesco Camarda made his SA debut as the youngest player in the competition's history at the age of just 15 years and 260 days.
But after their 3-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund during the week, which leaves them on the verge of UEFA Champions League (UCL) elimination, Pioli admitted that their fans “have the right to be angry and disappointed”. The arrival of Frosinone comes probably at a good time then given the fact Milan have won eight of their last nine SA home matches against league newcomers (D1).
A stoppage time winner against Genoa saw Frosinone move into the top half, as they continue to build upon what has been a fine return to the top flight (W5, D3, L5). The surprising performance of last season’s Serie B champions was highlighted when they leapfrogged UCL participants Lazio in the process, meaning they start this round just three points away from the top six.
The visitors return to the San Siro only a few weeks after their 2-0 defeat to Inter on this ground prior to the international break. Worryingly, it was their fourth consecutive away league defeat, and as a consequence Frosinone come into this latest round as one of only five sides yet to win on the road this term (D2, L4).
Players to watch: With Olivier Giroud banned, Camarda will seek a goal that would see him become the youngest scorer in SA history, a record which is currently held by Amedeo Amadei, who in 1937 scored at the age of 15 years and 287 days. The visitors have a youngster of their own in MatĂas SoulĂ©, who has already scored six SA goals this term, with the last three arriving before the break.
Hot stat: Each of Milan’s last five home SA matches saw only one side find the net, with four games ending 1-0 (W2, L2).
