✍️ Match Preview

Analysis

Frosinone make the trip to Stadio Artemio Franchi to face Fiorentina in Serie A (matchday 24). The match kicks off on Sunday 11 February 2024 at 11:30 UK time.

Current Form

Fiorentina's record over their last 10 games: 4W 2D 4L (1.40 PPG). Last five: W L D L L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.

Fiorentina's home record over their last 10 home games: 6W 1D 3L (1.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 1.90 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.40 — Fiorentina are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Frosinone (all games): 1W 2D 7L across their last 10 — 0.50 points per game. Last five: L L W D L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 2.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.30 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.

Frosinone's away record over their last 10 away games: 0W 2D 8L (0.20 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 2.50 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

Form favours the hosts. Fiorentina's 1.40 PPG return is 0.90 points per game ahead of Frosinone's 0.50 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.

Head-to-Head

The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 1 H2H match in our data, the wins are level at 0 apiece, with 1 draw. Neither side has a commanding advantage. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 1 H2H match in our data averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 28 Sep 2023, ended Fiorentina 1–1 Frosinone — a draw.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading Data

Fiorentina goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 60 games, 29 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 83% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 85% of the time; of the 20 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 35%; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (home games).

Frosinone goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 60 games, 29 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 62% of the time; of the 20 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 40%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Fiorentina 50% versus Frosinone 55%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Fiorentina 43% | Frosinone 55%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Fiorentina 2.10 xG and Frosinone 0.78 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Fiorentina attack 1.007 / defence 0.883 | Frosinone attack 0.789 / defence 1.471. League average goals — home 1.418 / away 1.113. Frosinone's defence rating of 1.471 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Fiorentina's projected output up. Frosinone's attack rating of 0.789 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.78. Data: built from Fiorentina's last 60 games and Frosinone's last 23.

Result probabilities: Fiorentina 67% | Draw 22% | Frosinone 11%. Fair-value odds: Fiorentina 1.50 | Draw 4.59 | Frosinone 8.77. The model has a clear lean to Fiorentina (67%) — a 45pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS Yes probability 49% | Total xG 2.88. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.88 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS No at 51% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Fiorentina are the pick at 67% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.88 combined xG gives a 55% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Fiorentina's last 10 home games and Frosinone's last 10 away games) averaging 2.9 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 51%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Fiorentina 30% (last 10 home games) | Frosinone 70% (last 10 away games).
