The visitors can end their long away run: Frosinone vs Sassuolo prediction
The Serie A seventh-round clash between Frosinone and Sassuolo will take place on October 16, 2026, at the Benito Stirpe Stadium. The hosts head into the match after a heavy 0-3 defeat to Napoli, while the visitors drew 1-1 with Milan in the previous round.
Frosinone: a strong start overshadowed by a heavy defeat in Naples
Massimiliano Alvini's side had gone four consecutive league matches unbeaten before facing Napoli and had already defeated Fiorentina, Venezia, and Como. However, at the Stadio Maradona, the visitors created virtually nothing and managed just one shot on target.
Despite that setback, the start of the season remains positive for the Serie A newcomers. Antonio Raimondo has already scored four league goals, while Giorgi Kvernadze has found the net in three of the last four rounds.
Sassuolo: the team regularly fights for points against the favorites
Under Alberto Aquilani, Sassuolo have already shown plenty of character against strong opponents. The team defeated Juventus 3-2 and then managed to take a point off Milan, equalizing soon after conceding.
The visitors' main problem is their away form. Sassuolo are still without an away win under Aquilani, while the club's last victory on the road dates back to mid-February. At the same time, the squad has been hit by a series of injuries, particularly in defense.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Frosinone had gone four consecutive Serie A matches unbeaten before their defeat to Napoli.
- Sassuolo have already defeated Frosinone in the Coppa Italia this season.
- The visitors are yet to record an away win under Alberto Aquilani.
The visitors look slightly more convincing: Frosinone vs Sassuolo prediction
Frosinone made a solid start to the season and can cause problems for almost any opponent at home, especially with Raimondo and Kvernadze in good form. However, the heavy defeat to Napoli once again highlighted the vulnerability of the team's defense.
Sassuolo have been inconsistent, but they have already shown that they can produce high-quality performances against strong opponents. If the visitors maintain the level of play they displayed against Juventus and Milan, they have a good chance of finally ending their poor away run.
