Prediction: 2-1
Frosinone
A place in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals will be at stake when Napoli and Frosinone face each other at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Tuesday evening. The Neapolitans desperately needed a win against Cagliari and they managed to get one, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they have big ambitions for the Italian Cup as well. Both Elif Elmas and Mathias Olivera remain in the recovery room, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Canarini, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Lecce and given their difficulties on the road, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. As for the away team, all Jesus Carvalho, Riccardo Marchizza, and Sergio Kalaj are out of contention with injuries, while Luca Mazzitelli is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Stanislav Lobotka):
Born in Trencin on November 25, 1994, Stanislav Lobotka is a Slovakia international who plays for Celta Vigo in La Liga. Lobotka began his youth career at his hometown club AAC Sparta Trencin and he made his senior debut for fellow local club Trencin. In 2013 he signed a loan deal with Dutch side Ajax, but he played for Jong Ajax during the 2013/2014 season.
In the summer of 2014, the Slovakian midfielder returned to Trencin, where he made 74 appearances in the league in total. In 2015 Stanislav Lobotka joined Danish side Nordsjaelland shortly before the transfer window closed. Lobotka made his debut in the Danish top flight against Brondby on August 30, 2015.
Two years later he decided to make a step forward in his career, signing a five-year contract with La Liga side Celta Vigo. Speaking of his international career, the Celta Vigo midfielder made his Slovakia debut against Austria in November2016. It has to be noted that Lobotka became the first Slovak to score at Wembley, finding the net in a 2018 World Cup qualifier against England.
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.
