Frosinone will be looking to cause another upset when they host Juventus in the Serie A. The Canarini defeated Napoli to get to the Coppa Italia quarterfinals. They now have to contend with a revived Juventus team for the championship.
Preview (Frosinone vs. Juventus)
Writing their names into club history, Frosinone’s youthful team—mostly composed of inexperienced loanees from larger clubs—overcame the holders of the Scudetto on Tuesday night, winning 4-0 at Stadio Maradona. The Canarini’s first-ever victory over Napoli came from a stoppage-time penalty converted by Walid Cheddira against his parent club. The first goal of the game came from midfielder Enzo Barrenechea, who was loaned out to Juventus for the season. However, between now and next month, they will go to Turin or Salerno.
They began in Naples after dropping a few points in the standings due to league losses to AC Milan and Lecce. Even yet, they are comfortably in the middle of the standings because they have performed exceptionally well since winning Serie B last season. After losing 3-1 to Napoli at home on the first day of play, the Lazio-based team has won five of their past seven games at Stadio Stirpe without losing. When Juventus defeated their southern rivals 1-0 in Turin earlier this month, they too profited from Napoli’s misfortune. However, Max Allegri’s team narrowly lost their most recent match.
Nevertheless, it was one of the few occasions on which the Bianconeri were unable to maintain their lead. After a deft move by Genoa immediately after the break leveled Federico Chiesa’s first-half penalty. Juve had to settle for a point against the Serie B runners-up from the previous season. As a result, they are currently four points behind Inter heading into their last game before Christmas. As a result, winning the Scudetto again is a realistic goal in 2024. It is imperative to avoid losing to another promoted opponent at all costs. They had won five of their previous six meetings with Frosinone in the league.
Team News
The lack of opportunities for fringe players to make an impression and improve their match fitness has been a drawback of missing out on Europe, but Max Allegri might make a few changes to his Juventus starting lineup on Saturday. Arkadiusz Milik, who has only made a few cameo appearances, could start up front with Federico Chiesa, who leads the team in goals scored with five, especially because Dusan Vlahovic is still struggling to establish a rhythm. The suspension of Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli has left Italy forward Moise Kean on the sidelines. However, Adrien Rabiot is expected to recover from a rib injury and may replace Fabio Miretti in the visitors’ midfield.
Luca Mazzitelli, Riccardo Marchizza, and Real Madrid prospect Reinier all out for Frosinone, and Caleb Okoli is suspended following his second yellow card in last week’s 2-1 loss to Lecce. Kaio Jorge, a Brazilian who plays for Juventus, scored the game’s goal for the Canaries from the penalty spot. The young Enzo Barrenechea should also start for his parent club. At Stadio Stirpe, Eusebio Di Francesco will go back to a more comfortable lineup following several changes in midweek. Leading scorer Matias Soule, who is also on loan from Juventus, will start in the front three for the home team. This season, the latter has generated a total of 72 shots and opportunities.
