Frosinone vs AC Milan

Stadio Benito Stirpe plays host to a tasty-looking Serie A match-up between Frosinone and AC Milan.

Frosinone pegged Hellas Verona back in last weekend’s dramatic 1-1 draw at Marc’Antonio Bentegodi to narrowly extend their lead on 18th-placed Cagliari to five points. Back to Benito Stirpe, where they hammered the Sardinian minnows 3-1 in their last league contest, Eusebio Di Francseco’s side will be out to settle the score with Milan after a 3-1 defeat in the reverse H2H and, in turn, register back-to-back home league wins for the first time since November. Home prowess has been Frosinone’s strong suit this season, with each of their six Serie A victories arriving at this venue. Prone to sluggish starts, the ‘Canaries’ have conceded first in their last three home league matches (W2, L1), though they did open the scoring in their first-ever clash against Milan in 2015.

Visiting Milan won that game 4-2 to embark on a five-game unbeaten H2H streak (W3, D2), which inspires confidence within the traveling squad after a 2-2 home draw against Bologna put a dent in their fateful-looking Scudetto chase. Indeed, not only did ‘I Rossoneri’ relinquish a four-game winning run in Serie A, but Inter’s narrow win at Fiorentina widened the gap between the sides to eight points. Playing on the road shouldn’t faze Stefano Pioli’s side after they’ve gone from four consecutive league travels without a win (D3, L1) to back-to-back away victories, both of which saw them score precisely three goals. Moreover, the visitors have only lost once on their previous eight Serie A road trips (W4, D3), notably scoring 2+ goals in each of the last six!
