In the previous round of Serie A, Frosinone secured a 1-0 away victory against Monza, earning three valuable points in their battle against relegation. Frosinone predominantly employ a 3421 formation and their offensive style of play has yielded great success both in attack and defense. They often initiate early attacks, capitalizing on their opponents’ vulnerabilities to take the lead. However, Frosinone’s weaknesses are also evident. While their defensive players contribute significantly in the attack, their defensive speed sometimes falls short. Consequently, when they lose possession in the opponent’s half, their defense is left exposed with a significant defensive gap. In terms of stats, Frosinone have scored 44 goals and conceded 68 in the league so far, exemplifying their characteristic of being strong in offense but weak in defense.
Udinese have recently demonstrated a strong determination to secure points. Under Fabio Cannavaro’s management, they have been consistently collecting points. In the previous round of the league, Udinese managed a 1-1 draw against Empoli at home. In the last four rounds, they have remained unbeaten with one win and three draws. Within this period, they even held strong teams like Bologna and Napoli to draws, showcasing a commendable performance. However, Udinese are only one point ahead of the relegation zone, making this round of competition crucial for them. Udinese also favor the 3421 formation but adopt a defensive counterattack strategy as “draw specialists.” From a statistical standpoint, Udinese have scored 36 goals and conceded 53 in the league so far, indicating their average performance in both offense and defense.
Considering overall strength, the two teams appear evenly matched, and their recent performances are comparable. However, considering their past head-to-head record, Udinese seem to have the advantage. Moreover, in the first leg of the season, Udinese managed a goalless draw against Frosinone at home. Considering Udinese’s fighting spirit to avoid relegation and their recent unbeaten momentum, it is reasonable to be optimistic that they can emerge unscathed from this game.
