Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with Verona, Juventus will be looking to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they take on Frosinone in Sunday’s matinee. The Bianconeri failed to win the previous four league matches, but the bookies still see them as favourites to beat the Canarini in front of home fans. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Dusan Vlahovic, who has been scoring goals for fun of late, while Federico Chiesa is pushing for a start.
The likes of Danilo, Matia Perin, Moise Kean, and Mattia de Sciglio are sidelined through injuries. Eusebio di Francesco’s troops, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to AS Roma, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Juve, who are determined to stay in the Scudetto race. The likes of Lusuardi, Bonifazi, Cuni, Oyono, Marchizza, Kalaj, and Ghedjemis remain in Frosinone’s recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Weston McKennie):
After starting his youth career at FC Dallas, Weston McKennie moved to Germany in the summer of 2016, signing a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. The American footballer made his Bundesliga debut on May 20, 2017, coming as a substitute in the 77th minute of the match.
The talented midfielder scored his first goal in the German elite division on August 6, 2018 in a 2-0 win at Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Weston McKennie has two caps for the USA U20 team as well. His main position is central midfield, but he used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. The USA international was born in Fort Lewis, Washington on August 28, 1998. His preferred foot is right.
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.
