Lazio – Frosinone Prediction & Picks (02.09.2018)

Lazio faced difficult opponents in the opening games of the season, today the first three points have to be caught against PhD student Frosinone. The two teams met only twice in history, in the 2015/2016 season Lazio won 2-0 in their own home and became 0-0 in Frosinone.

Lazio:

Lazio is still at zero points after the first two games of the season, losing both the number two and last season’s champion. In the most recent game against Juventus, it created few really big chances and made no claim to a point.

In the first half Lazio in Turin could still resist Juventus. The first dangerous shot came from the match of Lazio player Senad Lulic, the ball was placed fine in the corner but keeper Szczesny had a good view of the shot and tapped him. The other chances in the first half were all for Juve, it was Pjanic who, after half an hour, also made the deserved 1-0 with a perfect long distance shot.

In the second half, De Oude Dame was much stronger and Lazio was still very limited, but it did not give away many chances. A hard shot from Ronaldo was thrown over the bar by Thomas Strakosha, shortly thereafter the 2-0 fell. Strakosha could have another hand against a cross from the right, so Ronaldo did not manage to make the inticker. Hereafter, the rounding was a breeze for Mandzukic who appeared behind Ronaldo. Lazio did not create anything worth mentioning in the second half, so the defeat was very justified.

Frosinone:

Frosinone already suffered a big loss in the first round of the game against Atalanta (4-0), while in the same week he also flew out of the cup. The second league match was finished in-house against the Bologna of Filippo Inzaghi and finally had to bring success to the doctoral student.

However, the first big chance was for Bologna, when Dzemaili was put on a one-on-one with goalkeeper Marco Sportiello. However, the midfielder’s bet was limp and straight to the goalkeeper, saving Frosinone an early deficit. Also the other chances in the first half were for Bologna, but Sportiello got in the way several times.

The image in the second half was also the same. Frosinone played football nicely, but hardly created any real opportunities. Bologna got some shots on goal, but always met the goalkeeper. Still, Frosinone would eventually get the biggest chance of the second half, a perfectly measured pass came to Raman Chibsah, who headed the post. Both teams will eventually have peace with the 0-0, for Frosinone the first point in the Serie A.
