Fresh from a thumping victory in midweek, Frosinone look to continue their impressive start to the season against a Torino side who are attempting to bounce back from defeat.
Match News and Current Form
Frosinone registered their joint-biggest victory in Serie A by hammering Lecce 5-1 in midweek, a result which stretched their unbeaten run to three games (W2, D1). The Canaries continue to defy expectations on their return to the top flight, as they enter this round sitting inside the top six, though boss Massimiliano Alvini still insists avoiding the drop is his side’s priority. Few would blame supporters for getting carried away given that Frosinone’s 17-point haul is already nearly half of what they amassed during their relegation campaign of 2023/24, helped by an impressive four wins from five attempts on home soil (L1), with the last three of those victories coming by 2+ goal margins.
Torino’s three-match winning streak - their best across one season in Serie A since March 2019 - came to an end in midweek as they were beaten 3-1 by Como. It’s still been an impressive start to the campaign for the visitors though, whose 13 points from nine games is a total bettered in only one of their previous nine campaigns. Ignazio Abate’s men have already registered two wins on the road (D1, L1), including a 3-0 victory at Parma in their last trip, but Torino have lost their three outings against teams who start this round above them in the table.
