Frosinone vs Como Predicted Lineups: Team News for Serie A

Frosinone welcome Como to Stadio Benito Stirpe in Serie A Regular Season - 5, with both sides enjoying strong starts to the 2026 campaign. The hosts sit 7th on 7 points after 4 matches, with a goal difference of +3 (7 scored, 4 conceded). Como arrive in even better shape, 3rd in the table with 10 points from 4 games and a +5 goal difference (9 scored, 4 conceded).

Recent league form underlines how finely balanced this fixture is. Frosinone’s sequence of DWWL in the standings shows a side that has been competitive in every outing, while Como’s WWWD (listed as DWWW in the league form data) signals an unbeaten start and a genuine top‑four push. With both teams using an attacking-minded setup and key forwards in good scoring form, this clash has the feel of an early-season benchmark. Fans searching for predicted lineups will be particularly interested in how Frosinone try to contain a free-scoring Como, and how the visitors manage Frosinone’s in-form front line.

Head-to-head history in recent years tilts slightly towards Frosinone, especially at home, but this is a different context: top-flight Serie A rather than Serie B. With only three points separating the sides and both boasting strong attacking numbers (Frosinone averaging 1.8 goals per game, Como 2.3), the expected starting lineup choices on each side could be decisive.

Frosinone Team News & Expected Lineups Today

There are no listed injuries or suspensions for Frosinone ahead of this fixture. With no significant absences reported, the coach is expected to lean heavily on the core that has delivered 7 points from the first 4 league games. The standings form string DWWL (oldest to newest) suggests they started with a draw, built momentum with back-to-back wins, and then suffered a setback last time out, so continuity in selection is likely to stabilise performance.

Tactically, Frosinone have consistently been lined up in an attacking-minded shape that is officially recorded as a 4-2-3-1 across their four matches so far. That structure is expected again, built around the scoring form of Antonio Raimondo up front and the creative influence of Giorgi Kvernadze in midfield. With a balanced goals record (7 for, 4 against) and no forced changes from injuries, the expected lineup should be very close to their established Serie A core.

Frosinone Predicted Lineups & Starting Lineup

Predicted Starting XI:
(GK–DF–MF–FW in an attacking-minded 4-2-3-1 structure)
GK: S. Desplanches
DF: G. Bracaglia; G. Calvani; G. Cittadini; A. Terzić
MF: F. Grillitsch; R. Schmid; G. Calò; G. Kvernadze; L. Hasa
FW: A. Raimondo

This predicted starting lineup is built around the standout performers from the early weeks. In attack, Antonio Raimondo has been one of Serie A’s form forwards: 4 goals in 4 appearances from just 4 shots on target, all of them converted. His clinical edge, combined with his 329 minutes as a regular starter, makes him the clear focal point in the expected front line. Behind him, Giorgi Kvernadze has been arguably Frosinone’s most complete performer: 2 goals, 1 assist, 10 key passes, 26 successful duels and 13 successful dribbles in 4 starts underline his dual threat as both creator and ball-carrier.

In midfield, Romano Schmid adds work rate and bite, reflected in his disciplinary profile (among the league leaders for yellow cards) but also in his 95 passes and 26 duels contested. Alongside a deeper organiser such as Florian Grillitsch and a passer like Gennaro Calò, Frosinone can form a stable central platform. At the back, Gabriele Bracaglia and Gabriele Calvani are logical picks given their minutes and defensive metrics: Bracaglia has contributed 1 goal and 1 assist plus strong duel numbers, while Calvani leads Frosinone in tackles and blocks. With S. Desplanches preferred in goal from the available keepers, this XI keeps Frosinone’s spine intact and maximises the influence of their top scorers and assist providers.

Como Team News & Expected Lineups Today

Como also come into this match with no listed injuries or suspensions, meaning no significant absences reported from their squad either. That clean bill of health is a major advantage for a side sitting 3rd in Serie A with an unbeaten record (3 wins, 1 draw). Their standings form string WWWD (shown as DWWW in the league data, oldest to newest) highlights a team that started with a draw and then reeled off three straight victories, powered by one of the division’s most productive attacks.

With lineups today expected to remain close to their established pattern, Como should again lean on an attacking-minded structure that has been formally recorded as a 4-2-3-1 across their first four league games. The creative hub is Martin Baturina, who features prominently in both the top scorers and top assists charts, while wide and central attacking roles are shared by the likes of Assane Diao and Tasos Douvikas. Given their 9 goals scored (2.3 per game) and no enforced changes, the expected starting lineup will likely showcase all three of these key offensive pieces.

Como Predicted Lineups & Starting Lineup

Predicted Starting XI:
(Attacking-minded 4-2-3-1 structure)
GK: J. Butez
DF: Yan Couto; M. Kempf; I. Smolčić; Álex Valle
MF: Luis Milla; M. Perrone; M. Baturina; L. da Cunha; Assane Diao
FW: T. Douvikas

Como’s predicted starting lineup is built around the trio driving their early-season attacking numbers. Martin Baturina has been outstanding from midfield: 2 goals, 1 assist, 4 key passes and an 89% pass completion rate in 4 starts underline his role as the main creative conduit between the lines. Ahead of him, Tasos Douvikas offers penalty-box presence and shot volume, with 2 goals from 8 shots (6 on target) and 35 duels contested, making him the natural choice as the central striker in the expected XI.

On the flanks and in advanced midfield roles, Assane Diao has been a constant outlet. With 2 goals, 1 assist, 8 key passes and 8 successful dribbles from 15 attempts, he provides both direct running and end product, which will be crucial against a Frosinone side that can be exposed in transitions. Behind them, Luis Milla and Máximo Perrone offer control and progression in midfield, while a back four of Yan Couto, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Ivan Smolčić and Álex Valle balances defensive solidity with attacking width. J. Butez is a logical pick in goal from the available keepers, giving Como continuity at the back.

Injuries and Suspended Players Impact

With no injuries or suspensions listed for either side, this match is shaped more by tactical choices and form than by enforced absences. Both coaches can select from full-strength squads, which raises the quality of the contest and increases the importance of small details such as pressing triggers, wide overloads and set-piece execution.

Tactical Analysis: How the Lineups Match Up

Both teams are expected to mirror each other with an attacking-minded 4-2-3-1, which sets up a fascinating midfield battle. Frosinone’s double pivot, built around a passer like Grillitsch and a more industrious profile such as Schmid, will be tested by Como’s central trio of Milla, Perrone and the advanced Baturina. Como’s league form index is stronger, with an 83% last-five performance rating versus Frosinone’s 58%, and their attacking output (9 goals to Frosinone’s 7) suggests they will look to dominate territory and possession, especially through the half-spaces where Baturina thrives.

For Frosinone, the key is how effectively they can transition from their compact block into quick attacks led by Kvernadze and Raimondo. Kvernadze’s 10 key passes and 26 successful duels indicate he is central to both ball progression and chance creation, while Raimondo’s perfect shot-to-goal conversion so far makes him a constant threat if Como leave space in behind. Como’s wide players, particularly Assane Diao and Yan Couto, will try to pin back Frosinone’s full-backs and create overloads on the flanks. If Frosinone’s defensive pair of Bracaglia and Calvani can manage Douvikas and track late runs from Baturina, the hosts have enough firepower to exploit Como’s occasional vulnerability in the 16–30 and 76–90 minute windows where they have conceded most of their goals.

Match Prediction and Verdict

Stats suggest a very balanced contest despite the bookmakers heavily favouring Como. The prediction model gives Frosinone a 35% chance of victory, the draw at 35%, and Como at 30%. That aligns with the overall comparison index, which is close (54.8 vs 45.2 in favour of Frosinone), and a perfectly even defensive index. However, the Poisson index leans towards Como (31 vs 69), reflecting their superior attacking numbers and unbeaten record.

Pre-match odds from major bookmakers imply a different picture, with Como priced between 1.47 and 1.58 to win, translating to an implied probability range of roughly 63–68%. Frosinone’s home win odds range from 4.79 to 6.53, implying around 15–21%, while the draw sits roughly between 18–26%. The advice from the prediction model is a double chance on Frosinone or draw, recognising the hosts’ strong home performances and their historical edge in this head-to-head. Given Como’s attacking power but also the data-backed suggestion of a tight game, a low-scoring draw or narrow home result looks the most plausible outcome.


Predicted Outcome: Frosinone 1–1 Como
