This weekend sees the Serie A fixture list kick off on Friday night, and we've got a huge relegation clash that night. Frosinone are the home side, they welcome bottom club Salernitana for the game, and this is an absolutely huge chance for Frosinone to jump out of the relegation zone and pile the pressure onto those around them.
Frosinone Form GuideFrosinone remain in the relegation zone, they sit 18th as we head into the new round of fixtures, level on points with Udinese who are above, and outside of the drop zone. Draws in recent games have kept them in the battle, it's now four in a row, but what they really need is a win, and three points to send them up the table.
Their most recent draw was a 0-0 tie away at Torino last weekend. Before that, they've drawn 2-2 with Napoli, 0-0 with Bologna and 1-1 with Genoa. All four sides are mid table or better, so this has been a good run, but the question has to be asked, do they know what it takes to win, and can they do it?
Salernitana Form GuideSalernitana are not officially relegated from Serie A just yet, but will be soon, and that could be confirmed this weekend. Four losses and just one draw from their last five has seen them continue to struggle, despite being desperate, and overall, they still only have two wins to their name over the entire season.
They are 13 points from safety, with a possible 15 still on offer. Last weekend they lost 2-0 at home to Fiorentina, while before that, they were beaten away from home 4-1 by Lazio. The quality is lacking, heads are down, and they're in need of a big reset.
Match PredictionI have to wonder whether Frosinone have the ability to win themselves a game, despite this being their easiest task for some time. But at the odds, I can't back them, I will take the draw here, which looks good value for a team that has drawn its last four games.
