Roma’s Redemption or Frosinone’s Fortitude: Who Will Triumph at Stadio Olimpico?
Key Stats
– Frosinone, with just one defeat this season, are showcasing Serie A promise.
– Andrea Belotti has scored two braces against Frosinone during his tenure with Torino.
On a cool Sunday evening, Stadio Olimpico will witness a fiery confrontation as Frosinone, fresh from their Serie B championship success, challenge a struggling Roma. While Frosinone have smoothly transitioned to the Serie A, having faced only one defeat, Roma appear to be in dire straits, replicating their worst performance from the 1990s.
Past Records and Current Trajectories
Frosinone are eyeing a chance to compound the misery of their regional rivals. With just one loss and impressive fixtures like holding Fiorentina to a 1-1 draw, they’ve shown commendable tenacity. In fact, this newly promoted side might achieve the distinction of avoiding defeat in three consecutive away matches, a first for them at the elite level in Italy.

In contrast, Roma, having equaled their worst point tally at this stage since the 1990s, find themselves teetering at the edge. Their recent 4-1 drubbing by Genoa has further shaken their confidence. Despite a brief moment of brilliance in their 7-0 thrashing of Empoli and success in the Europa League, they stand precariously with five points, echoing their slow start from 2010.
Managers in Focus
Jose Mourinho, Roma’s iconic manager, is currently under immense pressure. Historically, Roma’s clashes against Frosinone have been a source of solace, with the capital club boasting a 12-3 aggregate score from their previous top-tier matches. Another stumble against Frosinone, particularly when they have been unbeaten in 24 home games against promoted sides, would severely dent their hopes for a top-four finish.
In the opposing dugout stands Eusebio Di Francesco, Frosinone’s new boss and a former Roma manager. During his stint with Roma, Di Francesco had an impressive average of 1.9 points per game. Now leading Frosinone, he has already amassed nine points from six league games. This upcoming clash holds personal significance for him, offering a chance to make a statement at Stadio Olimpico.
Team News and Standout Players
Roma’s captain, Lorenzo Pellegrini, is back, but they might miss Diego Llorente due to a recent injury. Mourinho could possibly field Bryan Cristante in a defensive position again, owing to the absences of Chris Smalling and Marash Kumbulla. Their attack might see the duo of Paulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku, emphasising their urgency for a victory. Notably, Andrea Belotti, despite a subdued performance since his move to Roma, has a record of two braces against Frosinone during his time with Torino.
On Frosinone’s side, Abdou Harroui and Francesco Gelli are confirmed absentees. Argentinian forward Matias Soule, the youngest player in Serie A to have both scored and provided an assist this season, is expected to play a pivotal role.
Predictions
- Win-Draw-Win: Given Roma’s home strength and historical record against promoted teams, coupled with Frosinone’s resilience this season, a draw seems a likely outcome.
- Correct Score Prediction: Considering both teams’ form and attacking prowess, a 2-2 draw seems plausible.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Andrea Belotti, despite his recent slump, has a noteworthy history against Frosinone, making him a probable candidate to find the net.
- Corner Prediction: Roma, with an average of 5.7 corners per game, are likely to edge Frosinone, who average 5.2, in the total number of corners. Expect a total of around 11 corners in the game.
