Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Catanzaro play host to Frosinone at their Stadio Nicola Ceravolo in a clash where defensive resilience is likely to play the main role. The hosts, unbeaten in their last five league outings, are aiming for their third clean sheet on the bounce, showcasing a disciplined backline that has frustrated recent opponents. Bear in mind, though, that midfielder Marco Pompetti misses out through suspension following his sending-off in a goalless draw with Pisa.
Frosinone, on the other hand, have been involved in several low-scoring games of late and will likely approach this match with caution. Injuries to midfielders Luca Mazzitelli and Karlo Lulic have impacted their creativity, with the Canarini focusing more on containing their rivals than pressing high up the pitch. Considering that both sides are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in Sunday's clash, we are unlikely to see goals galore at Stadio Nicola Ceravolo.
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.
