Monza – Frosinone

Monza and Frosinone could exchange goals

Frosinone continues to fight for survival. Thanks to an excellent winless streak, the team has climbed out of the relegation zone. However, the Canaries do not have enough points to feel safe. After 36 rounds, they have 32 points. Empoli, who are in 18th place, have the same number, while Cagliari and Udinese have 33 each. The six-match unbeaten streak was broken last Friday at the Benito Stirpe. "The Gialloadzurri hosted newly crowned Scudetto winners Inter with the hope of clinching the points. Despite all attempts, Di Francesco's men suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 0:5. However, the game "canaries" is unlikely to cause any censure. It is worth noting that Frosinone "outscored" the "snakes" in shots on goal and in the goalposts. Monza although finishing the season, but clearly not idle. "Brianzolli" not so long ago played a draw with Lecce, Lazio and Bologna, and in the last round almost took points away from Fiorentina. Raffaele Palladino's men scored for the Violets as early as the 9th minute, but the teams went into the break tied. Fiorentina were able to press their opponents only in the 78th minute. Frosinone is almost the most scoring team at the bottom of the standings. Over 36 rounds, the Canaries have scored 43 goals, which is only four less than Lazio, for example. At the same time, according to the xG metric, the Gialoadzurri are 4.11 goals short. The team makes up for its offensive activity with problems in defence. Only Sassuolo (72) and Salernitana (76) have conceded more than Di Francesco's men (68 goals). Monza by xG also has an underachievement. According to the statistics, the brianzolli could score 4.17 more goals than they have (39 goals). The "brianteo", meanwhile, shows another discrepancy. Thus, according to xGA in home meetings, Raffaele Palladino's wards should have conceded 3.79 more goals. Frosinone away, meanwhile, were 6.4 goals short. It is important to highlight the fact that in face-to-face meetings rivals are extremely productive. Thus, the clubs have exchanged goals in all five past meetings. In the first round encounter, Monza won the away win with a score of 2:3. Obviously, the visitors need points in this meeting much more. At the same time, Frosinone can hardly count on a "dry" match in their performance. Everything is going to be zero on the scoreboard at Brianteo.
