Frosinone vs Como Predicted Lineups: Key Team News for Serie A Clash
Frosinone welcome Como to Stadio Benito Stirpe on 20 September 2026 in an intriguing early-season Serie A clash between two sides who have started strongly. The hosts sit 7th with 7 points from their first 4 matches, scoring 7 and conceding 4. Como arrive in even better shape, 3rd in the table with 10 points, unbeaten and boasting 9 goals scored and only 4 conceded.
Both teams have shown attacking intent so far, and their league form strings underline that: Frosinone come in on a sequence of DWWL, while Como’s WWWD run has pushed them into the Champions League race conversation. With that context, this fixture could have real significance in the battle for European places if both maintain this level. Predicted lineups for today’s game suggest two proactive, front-foot sides, and the data points to a tight encounter where details in the starting lineup selection may decide the outcome.
Head-to-head history in recent seasons has generally leaned towards Frosinone, especially at home, but Como’s current momentum and higher league position mean this is far from a straightforward call. With both clubs using an attacking-minded shape in their early Serie A matches, the expected starting lineup choices around their key scorers and creators will be central to how this contest unfolds.
Frosinone Team News & Expected Lineups Today
No significant absences reported. With no injuries or suspensions listed, Frosinone coach has the luxury of choosing from a full squad. Their league form of DWWL, with 7 goals scored across 4 matches, suggests an aggressive approach, and the expected lineup should again be built around their standout attacking contributors.
Stats suggest Frosinone are comfortable in an attacking-minded shape that still keeps a compact defensive block when out of possession. The side has been using a system listed as 4-2-3-1 across their opening fixtures, and something similar is expected again, with the manager likely to lean on in-form forwards and dynamic midfielders to press Como high and exploit transitions.
Frosinone Predicted Lineups & Starting Lineup
Predicted Starting XI (4-2-3-1):
GK: S. Desplanches
DF: G. Bracaglia, G. Calvani, G. Cittadini, A. Terzić
MF: G. Calò, F. Grillitsch, R. Schmid, G. Kvernadze, A. Zerbin
FW: A. Raimondo
This predicted starting lineup is built around Frosinone’s key statistical leaders. Up front, Antonio Raimondo has been one of Serie A’s early standout attackers: 4 goals in 4 appearances, all from the starting lineup, with a strong 7.28 average rating. His clinical finishing (4 shots on target from 4 attempts) makes him the obvious focal point of the expected attack today.
Behind him, Giorgi Kvernadze has been equally impressive from midfield. With 2 goals, 1 assist, and a league-leading 7.38 rating among Frosinone players in the data provided, he profiles as the creative hub between the lines. His 10 key passes and 26 successful duels underline both his playmaking and work rate, making him crucial in linking midfield to attack. Romano Schmid, who appears among the most carded players but also contributes with 1 assist and 95 completed passes, offers energy and ball progression in the right half-space, while G. Calò and Florian Grillitsch provide structure and control at the base of midfield.
Defensively, Gabriele Bracaglia and Gabriele Calvani stand out. Bracaglia has chipped in with 1 goal and 1 assist from the back, plus 5 blocks and 2 interceptions, while Calvani leads Frosinone in tackles (10) and blocks (6). Together with G. Cittadini and A. Terzić, they form a back line capable of dealing with Como’s dangerous forwards while still contributing to build-up play. With no major absences, this looks like Frosinone’s strongest expected starting lineup today.
Como Team News & Expected Lineups Today
Como also have no significant absences reported, an important factor given their excellent start: 3 wins and 1 draw, 9 goals scored and 4 conceded. Their league form string of WWWD, combined with an unbeaten record both home and away, suggests a confident side that will not sit back, even away at Frosinone.
With lineups today expected to mirror their previous attacking-minded approach, Como should again lean on their creative midfielders and flexible front line. The data shows they have been using a similar 4-2-3-1 structure to Frosinone, allowing them to flood the central zones with technical players while still getting width from full-backs and wide midfielders. The main selection questions revolve around which of their many creative options start behind the striker.
Como Predicted Lineups & Starting Lineup
Predicted Starting XI (4-2-3-1):
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 lineup today revolves around a strong central spine. Up front, Anastasios Douvikas has 2 goals from 4 appearances and leads the line with 8 shots and 6 on target, indicating a high-volume, high-accuracy finisher. Behind him, the creative burden is shared by Martin Baturina and Assane Diao, both of whom appear prominently in the top scorers and top assists charts.
Baturina has 2 goals, 1 assist, and a 7.3 rating, with 128 completed passes at an 89% success rate and 4 key passes. He is likely to operate as the primary playmaker, dictating tempo and feeding the wide players. Assane Diao, also on 2 goals and 1 assist with a 7.2 rating, adds direct running and dribbling threat from wide areas, having attempted 15 dribbles and succeeded with 8. On the flanks, L. da Cunha can stretch the play and attack the half-spaces, while Luis Milla and M. Perrone offer balance and control in deeper midfield roles.
At the back, a predicted defensive line of Yan Couto, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Ivan Smolčić, and Álex Valle gives Como a blend of experience and athleticism. With no clean sheets yet but only 4 goals conceded, Como’s defensive record is solid, and the expectation is that they will again defend aggressively but high, trusting their midfielders to help control transitions against Frosinone’s dangerous forwards.
Injuries and Suspended Players Impact
With no injuries or suspensions listed for either side, squad availability should not distort the tactical balance of this match. Both coaches can select close to their strongest XIs, making this fixture a genuine test of quality, form, and in-game management rather than a contest shaped by enforced absences.
Frosinone Absences:
- No significant absences reported.
Como Absences:
- No significant absences reported.
Tactical Analysis: How the Lineups Match Up
This game sets up as a duel between two aggressive, attack-minded shapes that are both listed as using a 4-2-3-1 structure so far. Frosinone’s predicted front four of G. Kvernadze, R. Schmid, A. Zerbin, and A. Raimondo offers a mix of creativity, pressing, and finishing. Kvernadze’s ability to receive between the lines and drive at defenders will directly test Como’s double pivot and centre-backs, especially if he can isolate one-on-one against Kempf or Smolčić. Raimondo’s movement across the line and ruthless finishing will look to exploit any gaps left by Como’s full-backs when they push forward.
On the other side, Como’s attacking unit of Baturina, Diao, L. da Cunha, and Douvikas is equally dangerous. Diao’s dribbling and Baturina’s passing range will target the channels around Frosinone’s full-backs Bracaglia and Terzić, while Douvikas will battle physically with Calvani and Cittadini. The midfield battle between Milla/Perrone and Calò/Grillitsch is likely to be decisive: whichever double pivot can control second balls and dictate tempo will give their advanced midfielders more time and space. Both sides have similar defensive numbers (4 goals conceded each in 4 matches), so the difference may come from which creative players—Kvernadze and Raimondo for Frosinone, Baturina and Diao for Como—can convert promising positions into goals.
Match Prediction and Verdict
Prediction models give Frosinone a 35% chance to win, the draw also at 35%, and Como at 30%. That aligns with a finely balanced contest where home advantage slightly offsets Como’s superior league position and stronger recent form. The comparison indices are similarly tight: overall, Frosinone lead 54.8 to 45.2, while Como hold the edge in form and attack indices, and defense is rated evenly.
Pre-match odds from major bookmakers, however, heavily favour Como. Away prices range from 1.47 to 1.58, implying roughly a 63–68% chance of an away win, while Frosinone’s home odds between 4.79 and 6.53 translate to around a 15–21% implied probability. The draw sits in the 3.88–4.58 range, or about 22–26%. That creates an interesting tension between model-based predictions, which lean towards Frosinone or draw, and the market, which is strongly pro-Como. Given Frosinone’s strong home scoring record (3 goals in 2 home games) and Como’s attacking form, a tight, low-scoring draw or narrow home win looks plausible.
Predicted Outcome: Frosinone 1–1 Como
