A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Football : Italy Serie A
23rd February 2019 – Kickoff 20:30 [Frosinone, Italy Time]
Introduction:
Frosinone second from the bottom welcomes the visit of AS Roma in fifth spot and the visitors are seeking a fourth win in all competitions coming into this match.
Roma are battling in a five way battle for the final two Champions League spots while the hosts are five points away from safety as they have managed just three wins all season.
Frosinone
Frosinone lost their last match to leaders Juventus away from home by 3-0, which was expected. They did win two of their three previous games prior to that defeat. They did beat Sampdoria 0-1 away from home, as well as beat Bologna 0-4 away from home, though they did lose to Lazio 0-1 at home before that.
Frosinone will put their hopes to Camillo Ciano to get the goals for them here as the winger has seven goal involvements this season.
However they have yet to win at home this season managing five draws and six defeats on home soil. Frosinone have scored only six but conceded 22 goals at home this season. In their last three home games, they drew with Milan 0-0, lost to Atalanta 0-5 and lost to Lazio 0-1.
The player to watch for Frosinone will be Andrea Pinamonti who is on loan from Inter Milan. Despite his side being second from the bottom, the towering centre-forward has done well this season.
AS Roma
AS Roma have a very important derby clash with Lazio coming up but they must first get the win against a Frosinone side who are fighting for their lives.
AS Roma comes into this match after managing to beat Bologna by 2-1 on Monday Night Football but it was tense after Bologna managed to score a goal in the 84th minute and threatened to steal a point. But Roma managed to hang on for the win and they did well as Eusebio Di Francesco changed from a tried and tested 4-2-3-1 to a three man midfield.
Their goals was scored by Kolarov and Federico Fazio, which means they are now just a point off Milan in fourth spot. No doubt that Nicolo Zaniolo has contributed to their rise in good form as he almost single handedly put them into the european places in recent weeks. He will play either from the right wing or centrally behind frontman Edin Dzeko.
AS Roma have an away record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats going into this match. They have scored 16 and conceded 13 on their travels. They have however won only two out of their last six away games. In their last three away games, they beat Parma 0-2, drew with Atalanta 3-3 and beat Chievo 0-3.
The player to watch for AS Roma will be Stephan El Shaarawy. He has scored eight goals for them this season and that performance has only been bettered by Edin Dzeko.
Past Meetings:
In the first half of the season when they met AS Roma won by 4-0. The last time Frosinone hosted AS Roma was back in 2015 and they lost by 0-2.
