The Canarini are hoping to return to winning ways and these Frosinone vs. Empolipredictions suggest that they may be successful. Eusebio Di Francesco’s side have lost their last two games but come up against an Azzurri team down in 18th.
1 – Frosinone to win – 23/20
2 – Soule to score anytime – 9/4
3 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 9/10
4 – Both teams to score – 8/11
5 – A draw at full-time – 13/5
Frosinone host Empoli on Sunday at the Stadio Benito Stirpe, looking to secure only their second win in seven games. The Canarini’s strong start to the season has ensured a mid-table position but they go into match day 11 just five points ahead of their relegation-threatened opponents.
Eusebio Di Francesco’s side have done better than they could possibly have expected following promotion to Serie A. Frosinone are strong favourites with the bookmakers for Sunday’s game – and are justifiably so, given the impressive performances from the likes of Matias Soule.
Soule has burst onto the scene with five goals in just eight games to have Luciano Spalletti already attempting to persuade him to pledge allegiance to Italy. The winger’s keen eye for goal means he is our favourite to score anytime against Empoli.
Sunday’s game is shaping up to pit Frosinone, who struggle defensively, against Empoli, who struggle offensively. Aurelio Andreazzoli’s side have failed to score in all but two of their games this season, while Frosinone conceded four goals last weekend to a Cagliari side that had previously bagged just five all season.
Empoli’s issue is not so much lack of talent though, with the likes of Matteo Cancelleri, Tommaso Baldanzi and Nicolo Cambiaghi all offering plenty of creative ability. Sunday’s match could provide an opportunity for the Azzurri to rediscover their scoring touch. A wager on over 2.5 goals score, or on both teams to score, could therefore well be worth the odds.
Further encouragement for away fans could be derived from the fact that their hosts have to negotiate a tricky midweek trip to Torino in the Coppa Italia. Frosinone’s squad is far from the deepest in the league and is beset by injury problems. As a result, tired legs could provide a much-needed boost to Empoli, potentially resulting in only the second draw between the clubs in their last six meetings.

Frosinone (4-2-3-1): Turati; Lirola, Monterisi, Romagnoli, Marchizza; Brescianini, Barrenechea; Soule, Reiner, Baez; Cuni
Empoli (4-3-3): Berishi; Ebuehi, Walkukiewicz, Luptero, Cacace; Marin, Grassi, Fazzini; Cancellieri, Caputo, Cambiaghi
Frosinone’s midweek trip to Torino may see Eusebio Di Francesco rotate his starting XI. Walid Cheddira could start up front over Marvin Cuni, while Luca Garritano could make his third start of the season. Luca Mazzitelli returns from suspension and may slot into the midfield.
Giuseppe Pezzella is the only absentee for Aurelio Andreazzoli, meaning the coach is likely to stick with a familiar line-up. Emmanuel Gyasi will hope to play a larger role, with Francesco Caputo potentially starting on the bench. Daniel Maldini could feature having returned from injury last weekend.
