Full Analysis

Stadio Benito Stirpe plays host to Frosinone versus Sassuolo in Serie B (matchday 17). Kick-off: Saturday 14 December 2024 at 14:00 UK time.

Form

Frosinone (all games): 3W 4D 3L across their last 10 — 1.30 PPG. Last five: D D L W W. They are averaging 0.80 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

Frosinone's home record over their last 10 home games: 1W 5D 4L (0.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.70 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 0.80 lags behind their overall 1.30 — home advantage has not translated into better results recently.

Sassuolo's record over their last 10 games: 8W 2D 0L (2.60 PPG). Last five: W W W W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.80 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. Defensively, 0.60 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. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.

When travelling, Sassuolo have posted 5W 4D 1L from their last 10 away outings — 1.90 PPG. Away from home they average 1.70 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 1.90 is notably below their overall 2.60 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

The travelling side arrive in better shape. Sassuolo are 1.30 PPG clear of Frosinone over their recent games (2.60 vs 1.30). Backing the visitors outright or on Draw No Bet are both valid approaches where the price allows.

H2H History

Neither side has dominated the 2 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Frosinone, 1 for Sassuolo and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 3.5 per game across the 2 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 9 Mar 2024, ended Frosinone 0–1 Sassuolo — a Sassuolo win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.5 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

Frosinone goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 54 games, 27 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 70% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; of the 12 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 42%; of the 19 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 26%; BTTS occurs in 63% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 63% of games (home games); they fail to score in 37% of games.

Sassuolo goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 54 games, 27 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 74% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 93% of the time; of the 19 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 58%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Frosinone 57% versus Sassuolo 57%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Frosinone 54% | Sassuolo 52%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Frosinone 0.90 xG and Sassuolo 1.60 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 0.800 / defence 1.181 | Sassuolo attack 1.229 / defence 0.885. League average goals — home 1.267 / away 1.102. Sassuolo have an above-average attack rating of 1.229, which lifts their away xG to 1.60. Data: built from Frosinone's last 16 games and Sassuolo's last 16.

Result probabilities: Frosinone 19% | Draw 29% | Sassuolo 52%. Fair-value odds: Frosinone 5.26 | Draw 3.43 | Sassuolo 1.93. Sassuolo hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS Yes probability 49% | Total xG 2.50. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.50 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. 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.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Sassuolo at 52% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Sassuolo if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 2.50 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 54% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 51% on No. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Frosinone 40% (last 10 home games) | Sassuolo 60% (last 10 away games).
