Genoa Prediction
Genoa have made themselves a hard team to beat in recent weeks as the hosts have put together a useful looking five match sequence without defeat, a run that includes wins against Empoli and Lazio as well as picking up points against Sassuolo, Bologna and Chievo in draws.
Genoa occupy 13th place in Serie A and just below the midway point as they look to extend their stubborn run of matches without losing against relegation threatened Frosinone, as well as further bolstering their encouraging recent set of results at home too.
The hosts have suffered just one defeat out of their last seven matches on home turf which was a 2-0 loss to 3rd placed AC Milan, but otherwise, the hosts have shown they’re no pushovers at their Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris where they hold a record of 5-5-3 17/15.
Genoa have won the last two encounters against Frosinone in Serie A, running out 2-1 winners away from home and a 4-0 rout at home last time they met in Genova.
- Genoa are unbeaten in their last 5 matches overall in Serie A
- Genoa have lost just 1 of their last 7 home matches in the Italian top flight
- Frosinone have failed to score in 8 of their 13 away matches to date
Frosinone Prediction
Frosinone have lost three of their last four matches in Serie A having suffered defeats to Lazio, Juventus and Roma in what has, admittedly, been a punishing schedule over the last few matches for the visitors who occupy second from bottom in the division.
Frosinone have captured just three league wins so far throughout this campaign but interestingly, all three have been achieved away from home with wins registered at SPAL, Bologna and Sampdoria, while at their Stadio Benito Stirpe, they still remain without a home win to date.
However, despite these three wins on the road, the visitors will find it tough going to break down this well organised Genoa outfit, especially in their own backyard, and even an away record of 3-2-8 11/24 shouldn’t cause Genoa too many problems here.
Perhaps Frosinone’s biggest challenge is consistently hitting the back of the net on their travels this season as the visitors have failed to score in 8 of their 13 away matches so far this term, while keeping just four clean sheets as well.
Betting Tips Verdict
Genoa are a stubborn unit especially at home, and given their problems scoring goals on their travels, this could be a long afternoon for Frosinone here.
