Sassuolo vs Frosinone Prediction & Match Preview

• Sassuolo produced a great defensive display in a narrow 0-1 loss at Verona last weekend.
• I Neroverdi are unbeaten in the last five home outings against Frosinone.
• Frosinone own the worst away record in this term of Serie A with 3 draws and 10 defeats in 13 away outings so far in the season.

Teams with the worst defensive records in this term of Serie A will come across each other on Saturday afternoon. Sassuolo host Frosinone in a proper relegation six-pointer in Matchday No 28 at MAPEI Stadium – Citta del Tricolore.

Neither team have been pulling up any trees of late. Sassuolo claimed just one point in the previous seven league matches. They made a managerial change on February 25 but new head coach Davide Ballardini was not appointed before March 1. Ballardini made his debut with the new team last Sunday in a 0-1 defeat at Verona. It was a tight and nervous affair without too many opportunities on either end.

Frosinone are in a somewhat better position than Sassuolo. They are four points above the Saturday rivals at the moment. Nonetheless, Eusebio Di Francesco’s men are on a run of four defeats and a draw in the last five league outings. They failed to dispatch Lecce in a 1-1 stalemate six days ago at Stadio Benito Stirpe.

Recent Meetings

Frosinone celebrated their inaugural win over Sassuolo in 11th attempt earlier this season. They won 4-2 in a six-goal thriller at Stadio Benito Stirpe.

Frosinone are still winless in away clashes with Sassuolo. They’ve managed two losses and three draws in the previous five visits to Reggio nell’Emilia.

Six of the previous eight H2H clashes between these rivals saw the Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score pick coming in.

Sassuolo vs Frosinone Prediction

This is a huge game for both teams, Sassuolo in particular. The hosts are on a streak of four losses in the league. They finally produced a somewhat netter defensive display last Sunday at Verona. New manager Davide Ballardini will obviously insist on fixing the holes in Sassuolo’s back line. Frosinone have also played a rather tight game last weekend against Lecce (a 1-1 stalemate). We expect a similarly nervous and intense affair without too many scoring opportunities on either end. As weird as it may seem, the Under 2.5 goals FT pick could be the way to go here at the attractive 2.15 odds.

We will alternatively shoot for the 2.20 odds offered for Sassuolo to win on Saturday. The new-manager bounce is a thing in football and we have all the ingredients for a successful application of this unwritten rule. Frosinone are the worst travellers in Serie A. They lost 10 and drew 3 of 13 away outings so far in the season. They are also winless in five away fixtures against I Neroverdi. Lastly, Sassuolo will have the full squad available here, including the likes of Domenico Berardi and Andrea Pinamonti in the final third.
