Frosinone vs Como Predicted Lineups: Team News for Serie A Clash

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 come into this round sitting 7th on 7 points from 4 matches, with a goal difference of +3 after scoring 7 and conceding 4. Como, meanwhile, have been one of the early pace-setters: 3rd place, 10 points from 4, unbeaten with 9 goals scored and 4 conceded.

With the table still compact at this stage, this fixture carries clear European-race implications. Como are currently tracking towards the Champions League league stage places, as indicated by their ranking description, while Frosinone are just three points behind and can close the gap with a home win. Both teams have shown attacking intent – Como averaging 2.3 goals per game, Frosinone 1.8 – so the predicted lineups point towards an open, high-tempo contest rather than a cagey mid-table scrap.

Head-to-head history slightly leans Frosinone’s way in recent years, and the comparison indices give the hosts a narrow overall edge (overall comparison index 54.8 vs 45.2). However, Como’s superior league form (DWWW vs Frosinone’s DWWL in the standings block) and away scoring record mean this is a finely balanced matchup. With no official team sheets yet, this analysis focuses on expected and predicted lineups built from current squads and key performers.

Frosinone Team News & Expected Lineups Today

There are no listed injuries or suspensions for Frosinone, so the expectation is that the coach has a full squad available. Their league form string of DWWL (from the standings) shows a side that has been competitive in every match, combining a lively attack (7 goals in 4 games) with a generally solid defensive structure. With no significant absences reported, continuity in selection is likely, especially around the key attacking pieces.

Tactically, Frosinone have been using an attacking-minded shape built around their forward talent. The lineup data indicates they have consistently set up in a system with a lone striker supported by creative midfielders, and that should remain the expected approach. With in-form scorer Antonio Raimondo and all-action midfielder Giorgi Kvernadze among the league’s standout performers so far, the predicted lineups today will likely be structured to maximise their influence between the lines and in the penalty area.

Frosinone Predicted Lineups & Starting Lineup

Predicted Starting XI:
GK: S. Desplanches
DF: K. Akpoguma, G. Bracaglia, G. Calvani, A. Terzić
MF: G. Calò, R. Schmid, G. Kvernadze, F. Ghedjemis
FW: A. Raimondo, A. Zerbin

This predicted starting lineup leans heavily on players already prominent in the early Serie A statistics. In defence, Gabriele Bracaglia and Gabriele Calvani stand out not only for minutes played but also for their defensive and card data: both have been regular starters, with Bracaglia contributing 1 goal and 1 assist plus strong duel and block numbers, and Calvani ranking highly for tackles and interceptions. Their presence underpins a compact back line that has conceded just 4 goals in 4 games.

In midfield, Romano Schmid is a key structural piece. His card profile (among the top yellow-carded players) reflects his role as an aggressive presser and ball-winner, while he has also chipped in with an assist. Alongside him, Giorgi Kvernadze has been one of the league’s most effective all-round midfielders: 2 goals, 1 assist, 10 key passes and 26 duels won from 58 contested underline his importance as a ball-carrier and chance creator. He also appears in both the top scorers and top assists lists, so any expected Frosinone shape will be built around him as a primary playmaker.

Up front, Antonio Raimondo is the obvious focal point. With 4 goals in 4 appearances, 4 shots on target from 4 attempts and a rating above 7.2, he is currently one of Serie A’s leading scorers. His efficiency inside the box makes him the natural spearhead of the predicted XI. Around him, A. Zerbin is a logical inclusion from the available attacking pool, providing width and secondary goal threat, while F. Ghedjemis offers an extra creative option from midfield to link play and support the press.

Como Team News & Expected Lineups Today

Como also arrive without any recorded injuries or suspensions, meaning the coach can draw from a full squad as they look to consolidate their place in the top three. Their standings form of WWWD (listed as WWWD in the standings and DWWW in the predictions block, both reflecting an unbeaten run) shows consistency and resilience, with 9 goals scored and none of their four league matches ending in defeat.

Given this strong start, the expected lineup today should closely resemble the side that has taken Como to 10 points. The attacking core is clear: Martin Baturina, Assane Diao and Anastasios Douvikas all feature among the league’s top scorers and assist providers. With the team using an attacking-minded setup similar to Frosinone’s, we should again see a single central striker supported by creative wide and central midfielders. With no significant absences reported, there is no need for major rotation, and the focus will be on continuity and exploiting their edge in form.

Como Predicted Lineups & Starting Lineup

Predicted Starting XI:
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

This predicted lineup is built around Como’s most productive and frequently used players so far. In goal, J. Butez is a natural first choice from the available goalkeeper group. The back four is anchored by experienced centre-backs such as M. Kempf and I. Smolčić, with Yan Couto and Álex Valle providing energy and width from full-back positions. Their role will be crucial against Frosinone’s dynamic wide and half-space runners like Kvernadze and Zerbin.

In midfield, Luis Milla offers control and distribution from deep, while M. Perrone adds mobility and verticality between the lines. The creative fulcrum, however, is Martin Baturina. With 2 goals, 1 assist, 4 key passes and 89% passing accuracy, he has been one of Serie A’s most efficient playmakers. His presence in both the top scorers and top assists lists underlines his dual threat as a shooter and provider. To his side, L. da Cunha gives an additional technical outlet, and Assane Diao offers a powerful wide presence: 2 goals, 1 assist, 8 successful dribbles from 15 attempts and 17 duels won highlight his ability to break lines and win one-v-one battles.

Leading the line, Anastasios Douvikas has started 3 of Como’s 4 matches, scoring 2 goals from 8 shots (6 on target). His movement and physical presence complement the creative trio behind him. With M. Kean also in the squad, there is competition for the central striker role, but Douvikas’ early scoring record and minutes played make him the expected starter in the predicted XI.

Injuries and Suspended Players Impact

With no injuries or suspensions listed for either side, the impact of absences on this match is minimal. Both coaches can field their strongest possible starting lineup and rotate from a full bench if needed. This increases the likelihood that the game will be decided by tactical details and execution rather than forced changes.

Frosinone Absences:

• No significant absences reported.

Como Absences:

Tactical Analysis: How the Lineups Match Up

Both teams have been using an attacking-minded structure with a single central striker supported by a band of creative midfielders, which sets up a fascinating tactical duel. Frosinone’s predicted front unit of Kvernadze, Ghedjemis, Zerbin and Raimondo will look to exploit Como’s full-backs and the spaces between Como’s lines. Kvernadze’s ability to carry the ball and generate key passes, combined with Raimondo’s penalty-box efficiency, means Frosinone can threaten both in transition and in more patient build-up.

Como, for their part, bring a slightly higher attacking ceiling, as reflected by their 9 goals in 4 matches and an attacking comparison index edge (attack index 56 vs 44). The predicted trio of Baturina, Diao and L. da Cunha behind Douvikas gives them multiple creative and dribbling outlets. Diao’s direct running will test Frosinone’s full-backs, while Baturina’s passing range and intelligence between the lines can pull Frosinone’s midfield out of shape. Defensively, the indices suggest parity (defence index 50 vs 50), so the battle is likely to be decided by which attacking unit can be more clinical in the final third.

Match Prediction and Verdict

Outcome probabilities from the prediction model give Frosinone a 35% chance to win, the draw also at 35%, and Como a 30% chance. That aligns with the “win or draw” tilt towards the hosts and a double-chance recommendation in their favour, despite Como’s slightly superior league position and form. The Poisson index, however, leans towards Como (31 vs 69), highlighting their stronger underlying attacking numbers.

The betting markets are more bullish on Como: away odds cluster around 1.47–1.58, implying an away win probability in roughly the 63–68% range, while Frosinone’s home odds between 4.79 and 6.53 translate to an implied probability around 15–21%. The draw sits in the 3.88–4.58 band, about 22–26%. Balancing model probabilities, standings and price signals, this shapes up as a tight, high-quality contest where Como may have the edge in firepower but Frosinone’s home advantage and strong individual form from Raimondo and Kvernadze keep them very competitive.

Predicted Outcome: Frosinone 1–1 Como
