Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Cosenza and Frosinone square off against each other at Stadio San Vito on day 8 of the new Serie B campaign. Cosenza continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive triumph at home ground. The Rossoblu are after their third consecutive clean sheet in front of home fans as well. The bad news for the hosts is that talented attacker Vincenzo Millico is likely to miss the game through injury.
The Canarini, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league fixtures, and given their difficulties in front of goal, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Cosenza. In their last encounter in the Serie B Frosinone defeated Cosenza 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Francesco Zampano):
Francesco Zampano is a product of Sampdoria’s youth school. The pacey full back, who is capable of playing as a midfielder as well, began his senior career at Entella, making 51 league appearances for the club between 2011 and 2013. At the end of the 2012/2013 campaign he moved to Verona, but he was immediately sent on loan to Juve Stabia.
After playing 33 league games for the club in the 2013/2014 season, he signed a loan deal with Pescara. In July, 2015 Zampano signed a permanent deal with Pescara and it has to be noted that he made 38 league appearances for the club in the 2015/2016 Serie B campaign.
The Italian footballer, who was born in Genoa on 30 September, 1993, has three caps for Italy U20, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team. His contract with Pescara expires on 30 June, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Frosinone):
Back in 1912 Frosinone were founded as Unione Sportiva Frusinate and it has to be noted that the colors of the team were originally red and blue. They were later changed to the current yellow and blue and the Canarini have been wearing those kits ever since. Frosinone made their first ever appearance in the Serie A in the 2015/2016 season, but they failed to secure the promotion.
The Canarini finished the season in 19th place in the standings, eight points behind Udinese, who eventually avoided relegation to Serie B. However, two years later Frosinone returned to the Italian top flight as they defeated Palermo 3-2 on aggregate in the play-offs final.
The club play their home games at Stadio Benito Stirpe, the stadium that was opened in 2017. The venue can hold 16,227 spectators and it is owned by the Municipality of Frosinone. The construction cost €20 million.
