On Sunday morning, struggling Frosinone hosts in-form Bologna at the Stadio Benito Stirpe in a big game at both ends of the Serie A table.
Frosinone failed to win at Genoa last time outThe home team extended their winless to nine games in Serie A last time out, as they drew 1-1 at Genoa.
The draw leaves Eusebio Di Francesco’s team precariously placed in 17th place in the Italian top-flight table.
However, they are only out of the relegation zone courtesy of a superior head-to-head record over 18th-place Empoli. The pair still have to meet at Empoli in the remaining games of the Serie A season.
Frosinone has won just one of their previous eight home games in the Italian top flight while suffering a worrying five defeats in the poor run of form.
Their main issue on home soil in Serie A has been conceding too many goals. They have conceded at least two goals in five of their previous seven home games.
Bologna’s strong campaign continued against SalernitanaThiago Motta’s team continued their excellent recent form in Serie A last time out by recording a 3-0 home win over struggling Salernitana.
The victory means that Bologna has won eight of their last nine games in the Italian top flight. The only blip in the run was a 1-0 home defeat against league leaders Inter.
The Rossoblu’s recent good form has them situated in fourth place in the table, five points clear of fifth-place Roma.
Bologna have been highly potent of late in Serie A, having scored at least two goals in eight of their last ten matches in the Italian top-flight.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last four away games in Serie A, having recorded three consecutive away wins in the Italian top-flight.
What am I backing?I believe this game will follow the form guide, so I am backing a relatively comfortable Bologna victory.
