This Saturday, Frosinone is up against second-placed Juventus at the Stadio Benito Stirpe in the Serie A.
Frosinone hasn’t had the best luck lately, not winning in their last three games. Last week, they lost 2-1 to Lecce despite Kaio Jorge scoring an equalizer in the 33rd minute. Lecce sealed the deal with Ylber Ramadani’s goal in the 89th minute. But here’s the twist – Frosinone pulled off a shocker in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday, smashing Napoli 4-0 in the round of 16. Enzo Barrenechea and Giuseppe Caso scored in the second half, and Walid Cheddira and Abdou Harroui netted goals in injury time.
Meanwhile, Juventus is on a hot streak, staying undefeated in their last 11 league games. Last week, they had a 1-1 draw against Genoa. Federico Chiesa scored in the 28th minute from a penalty, but Albert Guðmundsson equalized for Genoa in the second half. It’s set to be an interesting matchup!
