Frosinone vs Sassuolo prediction 16.10.2026 | Serie A

After two years in Serie B and a return to the Italian top flight, Frosinone's goals are clearly to avoid relegation. They are excellent so far this season with ten points from six matches. Frosinone played well before the international break, as they were on a three-game unbeaten run. However, in the first match after the break, Frosinone lost 3-0 on the road against Napoli. Although the visitors probably created enough for one goal, Frosinone were terrible in defense and eventually suffered a heavy defeat. In the next few weeks, Massimiliano Alvini's team has a solid schedule, and that could be a great opportunity to establish themselves in mid-table.

Frosinone lost heavily in the last round, but he remains optimistic about the rest of the season. He commented, "I think this is the path we need to follow to achieve our objective, which is staying up: being a team with a clear identity, a team that wants to compete, that has its own principles of play, and that will try to secure survival by sticking to this approach."

Frosinone doesn't have big injury problems, as Florian Grillitsch and Daniel Birligea should be the only ones unavailable for Friday night.

Sassuolo looks set for another solid mid-table season. After the first six rounds, they have eight points. Alberto Aquilani's team opened the competition with a defeat, but since then, they have lost only once and seem good enough for another stress-free season. In the previous match, Sassuolo played 1-1 at home against AC Milan. The visitors were the slightly better side, but the hosts defended well and eventually secured a valuable point.

Sassuolo's head coach, Alberto Aquilani, was pleased after a draw in the previous round. He stated, "I'm satisfied. Of course, from what I saw on the pitch, I felt we could have made fewer mistakes. In terms of quality, we were less precise than on other occasions, but that's football - there are different kinds of days and different opponents."

Defender Fedde Leysen suffered an injury last weekend against AC Milan and will not play on Friday. He will join Jay Idzes, Ismael Kone, and Daniel Boloca, who are already unavailable, while Edoardo Pieragnolo is questionable.
