Full Analysis

Stadio Benito Stirpe plays host to Frosinone versus Palermo in Serie B (matchday 13). Kick-off: Friday 8 November 2024 at 19:30 UK time.

Form

Frosinone (all games): 1W 5D 4L across their last 10 — 0.80 PPG. Last five: L L D D D. They are averaging 0.40 goals per game and conceding 1.30 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.

In front of their own supporters, Frosinone have posted 1W 5D 4L from their last 10 home games — 0.80 PPG. At home they are averaging 0.60 goals scored and 1.30 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 20% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.

Palermo have collected 1.60 PPG across their last 10 games: 4W 4D 2L. Last five: L D W D L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 0.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.70 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.

When travelling, Palermo have posted 4W 2D 4L from their last 10 away outings — 1.40 PPG. Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game.

The travelling side arrive in better shape. Palermo are 0.80 PPG clear of Frosinone over their recent games (1.60 vs 0.80). Backing the visitors outright or on Draw No Bet are both valid approaches where the price allows.

H2H Analysis

The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 2 H2H matches in our data, Frosinone edge it 1 wins to 0, with 1 draw. Neither side has a commanding advantage. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

Goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 1.5 per game across the 2 H2H matches we hold, giving Under 2.5 a clear head-to-head base rate. The most recent of those, on 18 Feb 2023, ended Frosinone 1–1 Palermo — a draw.

With a balanced win record and just 1.5 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

Trading Data

Frosinone goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 50 games, 25 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 68% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 47% of the time; of the 10 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; of the 19 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 26%; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 64% of games (home games); they fail to score in 38% of games.

Palermo goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 50 games, 25 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 72% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 77% of the time; of the 20 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; of the 15 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 44% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Frosinone 58% versus Palermo 52%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Frosinone 56% | Palermo 50%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Frosinone surrender their half-time lead 50% of the time, while Palermo have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 33% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Frosinone 0.63 xG and Palermo 1.25 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: Frosinone attack 0.594 / defence 1.096 | Palermo attack 1.078 / defence 0.912. League average goals — home 1.156 / away 1.061. Frosinone's attack rating of 0.594 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.63. Data: built from Frosinone's last 12 games and Palermo's last 50.

Result probabilities: Frosinone 16% | Draw 35% | Palermo 49%. Fair-value odds: Frosinone 6.21 | Draw 2.88 | Palermo 2.03. Palermo hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (35%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 29% | BTTS Yes probability 36% | Total xG 1.88. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 71% probability — total xG of 1.88 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match. BTTS No at 64% 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, Palermo are the pick at 49% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 35% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Palermo if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 1.88 combined xG gives a 71% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Frosinone's last 10 home games and Palermo's last 10 away games) averaging 2.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 64%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Frosinone 20% (last 10 home games) | Palermo 40% (last 10 away games).
