Prediction: 1-1
Frosinone
Parma will be looking to build on a 2-0 win over Alessandria when they take on Frosinone in the Serie B round 20. The Gli Emiliani aim to kick off 2022 in style, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Parma head coach Giuseppe Iachini should have a full squad to choose from, except from defender Lautaro Valenti, who is rated doubtful for the match.
The Canarini, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Spal (4-0) and Pisa (3-1). Frosinone are determined to book their place in the playoffs, but beating Parma on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Both Matteo Cotali and Francesco Zampano are banned for the match, speaking of the away side.
Highlighted Player (Gianluigi Buffon):
Gianluigi Buffon is a legendary Italian goalkeeper. The 191-cm-tall shoot-stopper was born in Carrara, Italy on 28 January, 1978 and he began his senior career at Parma. After making 169 league appearances for the Gli Emiliani, he joined Juventus in 2001 and he has been playing for the “Old Lady” ever since.
Buffon is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the history of football and he won seven Serie A trophies with Juve. In 2006 he helped Italy clinch the FIFA World Cup trophy as they defeated France on penalties in the title game. He managed to keep no less than five clean sheets at the showpiece tournament in Germany.
Buffon set a number of records and it has to be noted that he is a goalkeeper with most number of clean sheets and penalty kicks saved in the Serie A. His mother Mara Stella was a discus thrower, while his father Adriano was a weightlifter. Gigi’s contract with Juve expires on 30 June, 2018.
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.
