Frosinone-Atalanta is a match from the second day of Serie A and is played Saturday at 6:30 p.m.: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Frosinone’s season, returning to Serie A after four years, begins with a double home engagement but against two far from soft opponents. First reigning Italian champions Napoli, then Gian Piero Gasperini’s ambitious Atalanta.
Faced with the partenopei on their debut, the usual merits and flaws of the teams of Eusebio Di Francesco, who last June took over the legacy of Fabio Grosso, the creator of promotion. The Ciociari in the first half hour had managed to surprise Garcia’s team with a brave and proactive attitude, scoring the first goal of Serie A 2023-24 with former Sassuolo player Harroui (on a penalty kick). Then Napoli, once they took measures against the Giallazzurri, rose to the top and overturned the newly promoted side with Politano and a brace from a wild Osimhen (1-3). Several, however, positive things to treasure in the continuation of the championship, waiting of course for the roster to be completed. In the meantime, Di Francesco can count on a new striker: from Bari – via Napoli – arrived the Moroccan Cheddira, great surprise of the last cadet championship. Frosinone will need all the warmth of the “Stirpe” to try to snatch the first positive result against an Atalanta that started strong right away. The Dea in the first day passed without problems in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo (0-2), folded ten minutes from the end. Also in goal was De Ketelaere, seeking redemption after the annus horribilis at Milan.
Frosinone-Atalanta: latest lineup news
In the Frosinone goal former Fiorentina player Cerofolini makes his debut: Turati was in fact disqualified for uttering a profanity. Immediately enlisted is Cheddira, who should take Cuni’s place in the center of the attack, between Caso and Baez. In the midfield, Di Francesco’s main doubt is between Gelli and Brescianini: the former Cosenza is pawing at him.
De Ketelaere
Few doubts for Gasperini as well. Without the injured Hateboer and Traoré, the Dea coach will confirm Musso in goal – still preferred to Carnesecchi – and the defense formed by Djimsiti, Scalvini and Kolasinac. On the left, he will deploy Ruggeri again, while Pasalic will act behind the Zapata-Lookman pair, with Scamacca ready to take over.
The Prediction
Frosinone has no pleasant memories with Atalanta in Serie A: merciless numbers in their four previous matches, which ended with an overall score of 11-0. The Ciociara defense did not appear solid against Napoli and will hardly be able to keep an inspired attack like Dea’s at base, which is why we imagine a comfortable Nerazzurri success in a challenge where the total goals should be at least two.
The probable lineups of Frosinone-Atalanta
- FROSINONE (4-3-3): Cerofolini; Oyono, Monterisi, Romagnoli, Marchizza; Gelli, Mazzitelli, Harroui; Baez, Cheddira, Caso.
- ATALANTA (3-4-2-1): Musso; Djimsiti, Scalvini, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, de Roon, Koopmeiners, Ruggeri; Pasalic, Lookman; Zapata.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
