Frosinone regains a victory that was missing since January 21st and gains important points in the key to survival
No escape for Salernitana at Stirpe. Frosinone directs the match already in the first half with Soulè’s penalty and the counterattack completed by Bresciaini. The Campania team fought and came close to scoring a goal several times which would reopen the match, but in the final comes Zortea’s seal which puts the end to the match from the edge.

Everything was easy for Frosinone in these first 45 minutes. Di Francesco’s team broke the deadlock in the 10th minute with the penalty perfectly converted by Soulè and conceded by Fourneau following Sambia’s hold on Valeri.

Teams on the pitch at Stirpe! Almost everything is ready for the kick-off!
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 defenders
Di Francesco’s choices: Harroui unavailable at Frosinone, Soulè and Brescianini will be there behind Cheddira, still preferred to Kaio Jorge. In midfield Mazzitelli and Barrenechea make up the midfield, while Zortea and Valeri will act on the outside. Behind will be the trio made up of Romagnoli, Okolo and Lirola ahead of Turati
OFFICIAL SALERNITANA LINEUP: same lineup for the Campania team, 3-4-2-1 the formation also chosen by Colantuono: Costil – Pierozzi, Fazio, Pirola – Sambia, Coulibaly, Basic, Bradaric – Vignato, Tchaouna – Ikwuemesi
OFFICIAL FROSINONE LINEUP: the hosts line up with a 3-4-2-1: Turati – Lirola, Romagnoli, Okoli – Zortea, Mazzitelli, Barrenechea, Valeri – Soulè, Brescianini – Cheddira
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 room
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 30th
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)
