Frosinone have a couple of injury concerns ahead of this match, with Matteo Ciofani and Alessandro Frara both struggling to make the game. However, without any suspensions to be worried about, Frosinone manager Roberto Stellone has the bulk of his squad to pick from.

Prediction

Frosinone picked up their first point of the season at defending champions Juventus in mid-week. A last minute header from central defender Leonardo Blanchard was enough to come away with a 1-1 draw from Turin. This will give the team confidence ahead of this match, however, there are still concerns of the team going forward, having managed just 2 goals in 5 games this season in Serie A.

Empoli picked up 4 points from their 2 matches prior to the mid-week visit of Atalanta. However, things didn’t go to plan as the team slumped to a 1-0 defeat, leaving them hovering just above the relegation zone. It was the first match where Empoli have failed to score a goal and they will need to get things going again in the attacking third in order to take the points home.

Frosinone have conceded 4 goals with just 1 reply in their two home games this season and Empoli will feel they have what it takes to get at least a point from the match.
