Frosinone-Pisa is a Serie B Week 17 match to be played on Sunday at 20:30: odds, predictions, TV and streaming.
After two half-hearted missteps against Cagliari and Sudtirol, Serie B leaders Frosinone went to the home of their main rival for the top spot: Reggina. Last Thursday, on the banks of the Straits, there was only one team on the pitch: a 0-3 without any possibility of appeal for Pippo Inzaghi’s Calabrese, who came out re-dimensioned from the direct clash. A result that, at the same time, allowed Fabio Grosso’s unleashed Giallazzurri to make their first attempts to escape towards the ‘dream’ of the top division. The ciociari, having defeated Reggio Calabria, are now +6 on the second place. But what counts most is that they can now boast an even wider advantage (+9) over the third place, momentarily occupied by the Bari-Genoa duo. Decline averted, therefore, for Mulattieri and companions, who confirm themselves as the team to beat.
For the coach, world champion in 2006 with Lippi’s national team, it was the third clean sheet in the last five days, proving an airtight defence, which with 10 goals conceded is the least beaten in the B league. Frosinone are looking for their tenth consecutive useful result in the big match of the 17th day against Luca D’Angelo’s Pisa. The Nerazzurri are back on the right track after the arrival of the coach who last year went one step away from promotion, and against Ascoli in the midweek round, recorded the fourth home victory (2-0): the goals of Torregrossa and Canestrelli allow the Tuscans to climb to 22 points and have access to the playoff zone again.
Frosinone-Pisa: latest line-up news
Canestrelli
Grosso is intent on confirming the eleven that scrambled Reggina at home three days ago. The only doubts concern the defence, where Monterisi and Frabotta are on the ballot with Sampirisi and Cotali. In midfield Boloca and Mazzitelli are sure of a place, while Rohden is likely to get the better of Ciervo. In front Mulattieri is still preferred to Moro. Several doubts also for D’Angelo, who could alternate Gliozzi and Torregrossa in attack. In the middle Marin will challenge Ionita, at the back the four-man line will probably consist of Hermannsson, Rus, Barba and Beruatto.
The prediction
The Pisa is a team that is bursting with health and this is demonstrated by the long string of useful results, but it is also true that away from home the men of D’Angelo encounter more difficulties: in fact, they have won only on one occasion away from Tuscany. Another victory – which would be a heavy one – cannot be ruled out, therefore, by a launched Frosinone, who are still unbeaten at home and have barely conceded two goals so far.
Frosinone v Pisa likely line-up
- FROSINONE (4-3-3): Turati; Sampirisi, Szyminski, Ravanelli, Cotali; Boloca, Mazzitelli, Rohden; Insigne, Mulattieri, Garritano.
- PISA (4-3-2-1): Livieri; Hermannsson, Rus, Barba, Beruatto; Marin, Nagy, Tourè; Tramoni, Morutan; Gliozzi.
