Genoa vs Frosinone: Can De Rossi’s Side Exploit the Visitors’ Defensive Warning Signs?. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
Both teams are likely to score given Frosinone’s high shot concession and Genoa’s defensive frailty. Genoa’s limited chance creation is offset by Frosinone’s defensive generosity, while Frosinone’s attack is potent, led by Raimondo. Defensive records and recent goals support backing both sides to score in this fixture.
A 2-1 Genoa win fits Frosinone’s defensive vulnerabilities and Genoa’s need to improve after three losses. Genoa’s chances increase due to Frosinone conceding many shots, while Frosinone’s attack, led by Raimondo, should score against Genoa’s porous defence. Recent head-to-head results support a narrow home win, though exact score bets carry natural risk.

Three Punchy Stats
- Frosinone have conceded 60 shots in three Serie A matches, an average of 20 per game, giving Genoa an unusually inviting opportunity to improve their attacking output.
- Genoa have generated just 1.87 xG across their three league defeats, underlining why one goal from three matches cannot be dismissed merely as unfortunate finishing.
- Raimondo has scored four of Frosinone’s six Serie A goals. That two-thirds share makes his output central to an attack that has suddenly found momentum after drawing a blank against Juventus.

Clean Sheet Records
Recent defensive records for Genoa and Frosinone are shown below.
Daniele De Rossi’s side have faced Napoli, Lazio and Como, losing 2-0, 1-0 and 4-1, while promoted Frosinone arrive after consecutive league wins. Yet the contrast in results does not tell the whole story. Massimiliano Alvini’s visitors have allowed opponents an extraordinary volume of opportunities, leaving Genoa with a clear question to answer: can a blunt attack finally take advantage when chances should be more accessible?
Genoa Need More Than Territorial Promise
The concern for Genoa is not simply that they have lost three times. Their attacking return has been consistently modest.
They generated expected-goals figures of 0.67, 0.42 and 0.78 across those league matches, a combined 1.87, and have created only three clear-cut opportunities. Only Atalanta have managed fewer after three rounds.
Those figures help explain why Genoa have scored just once. Milutin Osmajic supplied that goal on his first start since arriving in the summer and is pushing to retain his place, but one promising individual contribution does not yet solve a broader creation problem.
There is at least some defensive context behind the opening defeats. Napoli scored twice at Marassi despite Genoa conceding only 0.77 xG, suggesting the scoreline was harsher than the underlying chances allowed. The 4-1 defeat by Como, though, means Genoa have conceded seven league goals and have not kept a clean sheet in any of their three Serie A matches.
Frosinone’s Results Hide a Defensive Risk
Frosinone’s response to their opening 1-0 defeat by Juventus has been excellent: a 3-0 victory at Fiorentina followed by a 3-2 win over Venezia has lifted them to seventh after three games.
Their six league goals are already powered heavily by Antonio Raimondo, who has scored four of them. Giorgi Kvernadze has also provided attacking support, recording three goals and two assists in four appearances across all competitions, including two goal contributions in Serie A.
Yet Frosinone’s winning run comes with a sizeable warning. They have conceded 60 attempts in three league games. Fiorentina alone produced 25 shots and eight corners despite losing 3-0, while Venezia generated 2.17 xG in defeat.
That creates the most interesting tension in this fixture. Genoa have struggled to manufacture good openings, but Frosinone have repeatedly allowed opponents to shoot. Something has to give between an attack short of production and a defence surviving substantial pressure.
Availability Gives Frosinone Another Advantage
De Rossi is without Elias Havel because of an ankle problem and Lorenzo Venturino with a knee injury, although Genoa otherwise have a relatively healthy group.
Alvini has an even cleaner selection picture, with no reported injury problems. That matters when Frosinone are attempting to extend a run of two successive Serie A victories and maintain the attacking momentum provided principally by Raimondo.
Recent meetings also favour the visitors: Frosinone have won two and drawn one of their last three against Genoa, having previously gone seven without a victory in this fixture and lost five of those games.
The central issue is therefore less about which side carries the better early-season record than whether Genoa can finally turn access to goal into genuine threat. Frosinone’s results command respect, but 60 shots conceded in three matches make their defensive platform difficult to trust unquestioningly. Genoa have been offered a route back into their season; they still have to prove they can use it.
📊 Market Explainer
Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
Selection: Both Teams To Score YES. Both teams must score at least once during normal time. The match winner does not matter; the selection is settled only by whether each side finds the net.
Correct Score Market
Selection: Genoa vs Frosinone 2-1. Predict the exact score at the end of 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties do not count unless the bookmaker states otherwise.
🎯 Pick 1: Both Teams To Score YES @ 4/6
Genoa enter this fixture following three consecutive Serie A defeats, but Frosinone’s defensive numbers offer an immediate route into the match. Massimiliano Alvini’s side have conceded 60 attempts across their opening three league games, allowing an average of 20 shots per match. Even in their 3-0 victory against Fiorentina, Frosinone allowed 25 shots and eight corners, while Venezia generated 2.17 expected goals against them. This level of defensive generosity gives Genoa an unusually accessible environment to improve on their single goal scored so far.
Daniele De Rossi’s side have struggled to generate chances, creating only three clear-cut opportunities and accumulating 1.87 expected goals across losses to Napoli, Lazio and Como. However, Genoa’s backline has also been breached seven times without recording a clean sheet. Frosinone arrive with genuine attacking momentum, having scored six goals in their last two matches. Antonio Raimondo has registered four of those goals, while Giorgi Kvernadze has contributed three goals and two assists in four appearances across all competitions.
The primary counter-argument sits in Genoa’s lack of goal volume, having scored only once through Milutin Osmajic. Yet Frosinone’s tendency to permit high shot volume creates regular openings for opposing forwards. Combining Genoa’s defensive record of seven goals conceded with Frosinone’s regular concessions makes goals at both ends highly plausible. A 1-0 win for either side or a goalless draw remains a risk, but the defensive facts across both clubs justify backing both sides to score.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Frosinone have conceded 60 attempts across three league matches, allowing an average of 20 shots per game.
- Genoa have failed to record a clean sheet in Serie A this season, conceding seven goals in three fixtures.
- Frosinone have scored six goals across their last two league games, led by Antonio Raimondo's four goals.
Risk Factor: If Genoa fail to convert limited chances or Frosinone keep a clean sheet, this selection loses.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Frosinone yield 20.0 shots per game, giving Genoa's attack significantly higher shot volume than against previous opponents.
Antonio Raimondo has scored four of Frosinone's six goals against a Genoa defence that has yielded seven goals in three matches.
⚔️ Pick 2: Genoa vs Frosinone 2-1 @ 7/1
A 2-1 victory for Genoa aligns with the combination of Frosinone’s defensive allowances and Genoa’s urgency to correct three early losses. Frosinone’s concession of 60 attempts in three matches indicates that Genoa will receive significantly more shooting opportunities than in previous fixtures against Napoli or Lazio. Milutin Osmajic scored on his first start, and Frosinone’s defensive record—including yielding 2.17 expected goals to Venezia—supports the possibility of Genoa scoring twice at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
To justify Frosinone’s single goal, Massimiliano Alvini’s team bring proven offensive output. Antonio Raimondo has scored four of Frosinone’s six league goals, representing two-thirds of their total, while Giorgi Kvernadze has added further threat. Genoa have conceded seven goals across three fixtures and have not kept a clean sheet this season, including conceding four times against Como. This defensive weakness indicates that Frosinone have a clear path to scoring at least once.
Recent history provides context, as Frosinone have won two and drawn one of the last three head-to-head meetings. However, Genoa’s need for points at home facing an opponent that yields 20 shots per game makes a narrow home win coherent. Correct score selections remain naturally fragile, as a single late goal or missed chance converts 2-1 into 1-1 or 2-2. Nevertheless, a 2-1 Genoa victory reflects both teams’ current defensive and attacking profiles.
Risk Factor: Any scoreline other than 2-1 results in a total loss for this exact selection.
