Frosinone Calcio are off for an important match against the season’s champions, Inter Milan, as they eye for a win to survive in the Serie A. These two squads are both winless during their previous matches, making this game more crucial for Frosinone. They are currently at the 16th of the league table, with 32 points, but are needing more win. Frosinone are just two place and two points away from the relegation zone, which is not what they want. Meanwhile, Inter, despite their recent loss, remains confident in this match, as they claimed the Serie A title. Having an 18-point lead at the top, Inter are just enjoying their stay at the top of the league table. The meeting between these two teams is on May 11, 2024, at 2:45 AM (GMT+8).
Frosinone Calcio
Frosinone, with a six-game unbeaten run in Serie A, has a chance to avoid the drop, but a goalless draw with Empoli last weekend is their fifth draw during this run. Despite 17 shots on goal, the Canaries were unable to breach Empoli’s backline and settled for only a point. Seven teams are still involved in a relegation battle with just three games remaining, including Eusebio Di Francesco’s team, which sits 16th in the table and two points clear of 18th-placed Udinese. Frosinone’s away form has slightly improved in recent weeks, but they will welcome Friday’s return to their home stadium, where they have picked up 78% of their Serie A points this season. They have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five matches, but success on Friday could be challenging.
Frosinone will be without injured players, including Turati, Kalaj, Oyono, and Lusuardi, and suspended Enzo Barrenechea. Francesco Gelli may play in midfield, while Di Francesco’s lineup remains intact. Nadir Zortea and Valeri provide width, and Matias Soule and Walid Cheddira attack.
Inter Milan
Frosinone is optimistic about their chances on Friday after Inter suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat against relegation-threatened Sassuolo, their second Serie A defeat of the season and their first since losing to the same team in September. Inter’s performance levels are expected to drop, as they have secured a 20th Scudetto and are merely playing for pride. Simone Inzaghi will encourage his team to avoid consecutive league defeats for the first time since April last year, as they have lost back-to-back games in a title-winning season only once in 1953. Inter can better their points tally from their last title-winning season if they claim maximum points against Frosinone, who they have beaten by an aggregate score of 13-1 across their previous five top-flight meetings.
Inter’s defender Francesco Acerbi is absent due to a groin injury, leaving a back three of Benjamin Pavard, Stefan de Vrij, and Alessandro Bastoni. Denzel Dumfries and Carlos Augusto are likely to play wing-backs. Inzaghi will decide whether to recall Marcus Thuram or Alexis Sanchez.

Inter Milan (2.5)
