Frosinone vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting Tips (18 February)

Winner of Serie B last year, Frosinone is fighting not to return to the lower level next season. The promoted team is currently 14th in the ranking and is 3 points ahead of the first relegated team. Less to their advantage for several weeks now, Matias Soule's teammates have only won against relegated Cagliari 3-1 in the last 11 days, for 2 draws and 8 defeats. After taking a point at Hellas Verona 1-1, they lost to AC Milan 2-3 and Fiorentina last weekend 5-1. Eager to win a European folding seat, Roma today occupies 6th place in Serie A with 7 points out of 4th place, qualifying for the next Champions League.

The checkered results led to the dismissal of Jose Mourinho in early January. Under the orders of Daniele De Rossi, the Giallorossi resumed their march forward by stringing together 3 victories in a row against Hellas Verona 2-1, Salernitana 1-2 and Cagliari 4-0. They were stopped at home by Inter last weekend 2-4. This week, the Louve club drew on the Feyenoord pitch in the Europa League play-off first leg 1-1.

Many elements are still missing in Frosinone this weekend. This is the case of starting defenders Bonifazi, Marchizza and Oyono, recruits Ghedjemis and Zortea as well as the usual replacements Kalaj, Lusuardi (defenders), Garritano (midfielder) and Cuni (forward). Additionally, experienced defender Romagnoli is suspended after picking up another yellow card last weekend. Forwards on loan from Juventus Soule (10 goals and 2 assists in SA) and Kaio Jorge (3 goals in SA) should start again.

This winter, the club was strengthened with the arrivals of defenders Bonifazi (Bologna) and Valeri (Cremonese), the young attacking midfielder Vural (17 years old, Hammarby) and the wingers Zortea (Atalanta), Seck (Torino) and Ghedjemis ( Rouen). Otherwise, replacements Avella (goalkeeper) and Lulic (midfielder) left for Serie B.
