Welcome to the live broadcast of Frosinone-Salernitana, a match valid for the 34th day of the Serie A championship!6.27pm
Delicate situation at Frosinone, the positive performance of the first round clashed with the disastrous one of the second half, and Di Francesco’s team is now dangerously entangled in the relegation zone. The hosts are coming off three consecutive draws but have only achieved one victory in their last 19 games (last January 21st here at Stirpe against Cagliari)8:00 pm
Salernitana’s final farewell to Serie A may arrive this evening. In fact, in the event of a failure to win, Colantuono’s team would logically be relegated to the second division. The former Atalanta coach was unable to revive the fortunes of a team in which Inzaghi first and then Liverani had also failed. The Campania team have won only two matches in the entire championship, the last success dating back to the away match in Verona last December 30th8.02pm
The direction of the race is entrusted to Francesco Forneaou of the Roma 1 section, who will be assisted by assistants Tolfo and Fontemurato and by the fourth official Volpi. Meraviglia and Chiffi will operate in the Var room6.43pm

Colantuono’s choices: Candreva’s absence due to disqualification weighs heavily, leaving room for Vignato in the attacking midfield paired with Tchaouna behind Ikwuemesi. Sambia and Bradaric are the arrows on the outside, with Basic and Coulbaly in midfield. Costil will be in goal, while Pirola, Fazio and Pierozzi will be the three defenders7.59pm

Everything was easy for Frosinone in these first 45 minutes.

The second goal came a quarter of an hour later and was the result of an excellent counterattack finished off again by Valeri and finalized in the best possible way by Brescianini. Salernitana tries mainly with long range solutions which however do not worry Turati too much9.37pm
With this result, Salernitana would arithmetically be relegated to Serie B. Even a draw wouldn’t be enough for Colantuono’s team, only with a victory would they postpone their descent into the second division9.38pm
