Verona vs Frosinone prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-01-27 14:00.
Hellas Verona’s attempts to avoid the drop this season aren’t being helped by the club’s decision to keep allowing key players to be sold, with top scorer Cyril Ngonge and Milan Djurić among the latest to depart. But Marco Baroni‘s men are continuing to show a good fighting spirit with two of their four league wins this season coming from their past five league matches (L3), while each of their three defeats in that time were also by a slender one-goal margin – including last time out away at Roma (2-1).
The home side start this round one point from safety, but positive results in four of their last five matches (W2, D2, L1) in front of their home fans should inspire hope they could climb out of the danger zone this weekend. Yet dampening that confidence might be their rotten goalscoring record at Marcantonio Bentegodi Stadium, with Verona netting just 11 league strikes there all season.
Frosinone got back to winning ways against Cagliari last time out, completing a second-half comeback to win 3-1 and halt a five-game losing streak. That victory helped consolidate the mid-table position of Eusebio Di Francesco‘s men, who enter this gameweek five points clear of the relegation zone.
That was a crucial win given Frosinone head back on the road with a poor league-low two points on their travels this term (D2, L8), while they also conceded a whopping 24 goals across those ten matches. That will be music to the ears of the goal-shy hosts, although the away side do come into the game with the psychological edge of having only lost one of the previous seven H2Hs between the two (W5, D1).
Players to watch: With Ngonge gone, Verona need someone to step up in his place and that could be Michael Folorunsho, who scored his second goal for the club last time out – both his strikes have arrived after the 75th minute. Matías Soulé – on nine league goals for the season – netted the second for Frosinone against Cagliari last weekend and also in the reverse fixture, with both strikes arriving beyond the hour mark.
Hot stat: A league-high 16 of Frosinone‘s 21 matches have seen both teams score.
