Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Benito Stirpe will host Sunday’s matinee between Frosinone and Torino, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Serie A standings. The Canarini failed to spoil Milan’s party at Stadio San Siro, but they are surely capable of making life difficult for Il Toro in front of home fans. Midfielder Marco Brescianini is pushing for a start, while all Pol Lirola, Riccardo Marchizza, Abdou Harroui, and Sergio Kalaj remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Il Toro, on the other hand, rolled over Atalanta 3-0 to climb to top ten in the standings, but beating Frosinone on the road is easier said than done. A close match is on the cards and we predict that the two sides are going to play out a draw in the Serie A round 15. Both N’Guessan and Schuurs are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Duvan Zapata):
Duvan Zapata was born in Cali, Colombia on 1 April, 1991. The 186-cm-tall attacker started his youth career at America de Cali, playing for the club between 2004 and 2008. In 2008 he made his debut for the first team and three years later he scored his first hat-trick for the Colombian outfit, in a 3-2 win over Deportivo Pereira.
In 2011 he signed a loan deal with Estudiantes and he found the net for the Argentine team on his debut against Belgrano. After scoring 11 goals in 37 appearances for Estudiantes, the Colombian striker joined Napoli in 2013, but he failed to establish himself as a first-choice attacker.
On 22 July, 2015 Zapata joined fellow Serie A team Udinese on loan and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 24 league appearances for the Zebrette. Duvan Zapata has 5 caps for Colombia U20 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior side.
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.
