Frosinone vs Como Predicted Lineups and Team News – 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 with 7 points from 4 matches, scoring 7 and conceding 4, while Como arrive in Frosinone flying high in 3rd place on 10 points, unbeaten with 3 wins and 1 draw and a +5 goal difference (9 scored, 4 conceded).
Standings and early form suggest a tightly balanced contest despite bookmakers rating Como as clear favourites. Frosinone’s league form string of DWWL (from the standings block) shows they have been competitive in every outing, while Como’s WWWD underlines both attacking quality and consistency. With both sides using an attacking-minded shape in their opening fixtures and several players featuring near the top of the Serie A scoring and assists charts, this is a prime fixture for predicted lineups analysis rather than waiting for official team sheets.
Historically, this matchup has been relatively even, but recent meetings tilt slightly towards Frosinone. They have won three of the last five clashes in league and cup, including back-to-back 2–0 away victories in Serie B and a 3–0 Coppa Italia success, while Como claimed a notable 2–1 away win in 2022. With both clubs now in Serie A and early-season momentum at stake, predicted lineups and the expected starting lineup choices will be crucial in determining which trajectory continues.
Frosinone Team News & Expected Lineups Today
There are no listed injuries or suspensions for Frosinone ahead of this game. No significant absences reported. That gives the coach maximum flexibility to stick with the core that has taken 7 points from 4 matches and produced a solid goal return of 1.8 per game. The league form sequence DWWL suggests a side that has generally controlled games but is still ironing out defensive lapses.
Frosinone have been using an attacking-minded shape built around their standout performers in the final third. The club’s last-five metrics show a strong defensive index and a solid attacking return, and with no enforced changes, the expected approach is again to play on the front foot at home, pressing high in phases and relying on the creativity and finishing of their top scorers to unsettle Como’s back line.
Frosinone Predicted Lineups & Starting Lineup
Predicted Starting XI:
GK: S. Desplanches
DF: G. Bracaglia; G. Calvani; G. Cittadini; A. Terzić
MF: G. Calò; R. Schmid; G. Kvernadze; F. Ghedjemis
FW: A. Raimondo; A. Zerbin
This predicted lineup is anchored by the attacking output of Antonio Raimondo and Giorgi Kvernadze, who both feature prominently in the Serie A top scorers list for Frosinone. Raimondo has 4 goals from 4 appearances, converting all 4 of his shots on target, and is clearly the focal point of the attack. Kvernadze adds 2 goals and 1 assist with an excellent overall rating and 10 key passes, underlining his dual threat as both creator and scorer. Expect Frosinone to funnel possession through him between the lines and on the half-spaces.
Behind them, Romano Schmid provides work rate and ball progression from midfield, contributing 1 assist and ranking among the league’s most carded players, which also speaks to his intensity in duels. At the back, Gabriele Bracaglia and Gabriele Calvani stand out as key defensive pillars: Bracaglia has already chipped in with 1 goal and 1 assist while ranking high in yellow cards, indicating a proactive and sometimes aggressive defensive style, while Calvani’s tackling and blocking numbers show a defender willing to step out and engage. With a goalkeeper like S. Desplanches expected to continue, this XI balances youthful energy with enough experience to cope with Como’s potent attack.
Como Team News & Expected Lineups Today
Como also head into this match without any officially listed injuries or suspensions. No significant absences reported. That clean bill of health is a major asset for a side sitting 3rd with 10 points and a WWWD league form sequence, scoring 9 goals at an average of 2.3 per match. It allows the coach to maintain continuity in selection and retain the core that has driven their early charge towards the Champions League places.
Given the strong away record so far (2 wins and 1 draw on the road, 7 goals scored, 3 conceded), Como’s lineups today should again feature an aggressive, technically gifted midfield and front line. Their expected approach is to control possession phases through creative midfielders like M. Baturina, then exploit wide channels and quick combinations to release forwards such as Assane Diao and T. Douvikas. With no forced rotations, the predicted lineups can closely mirror the side that has impressed in the opening four rounds.
Como Predicted Lineups & Starting Lineup
Predicted Starting XI:
GK: J. Butez
DF: Yan Couto; M. Kempf; I. Smolčić; Álex Valle
MF: Luis Milla; M. Baturina; L. da Cunha; N. Paz
FW: Assane Diao; T. Douvikas
The heart of this predicted lineup is the midfield triangle built around Martin Baturina. He has 2 goals and 1 assist from 4 appearances, an excellent passing accuracy of 89%, and 4 key passes, marking him as one of Serie A’s most efficient playmakers so far. Alongside him, Luis Milla offers control and experience in deeper areas, while L. da Cunha and N. Paz add mobility and technical quality to progress the ball and support the forwards.
In the final third, Assane Diao has emerged as a major weapon. With 2 goals, 1 assist, 8 key passes and 8 successful dribbles from 15 attempts, he combines end product with ball-carrying ability that can stretch any defence. T. Douvikas provides the central reference point, also on 2 goals and leading the line with strong duel numbers and 8 fouls drawn, indicating how difficult he is to handle physically. At the back, the predicted pairing of M. Kempf and I. Smolčić, supported by the attacking full-back threat of Yan Couto and the balance of Álex Valle, gives Como enough stability to maintain their high-tempo style away from home.
Injuries and Suspended Players Impact
With no recorded injuries or suspensions for either side, the tactical narrative of this match is driven entirely by form, selection choices, and in-game adjustments rather than enforced absences. Both managers can field what looks very close to their strongest possible elevens, which increases the reliability of the predicted lineups and should raise the overall quality of the contest.
Frosinone Absences:
- No significant absences reported.

Tactical Analysis: How the Lineups Match Up
On paper, this is a clash between two sides with similar attacking-minded setups but slightly different strengths. Frosinone’s predicted XI leans heavily on the vertical threat of A. Raimondo and the creative influence of G. Kvernadze. Their league scoring profile shows goals spread across various time windows, with particular danger between 16–45 minutes, which aligns with a strategy of building pressure after settling into games. The midfield trio of G. Calò, R. Schmid and Kvernadze should look to disrupt Como’s build-up early, with Schmid’s pressing and tackling complemented by Calò’s distribution.
Como, however, arrive with a stronger overall attacking index and a higher form index. Their 9 goals so far are clustered in the 16–45 and 76–90 minute ranges, hinting at both strong starts in each half and the ability to finish games strongly. The predicted wide duel between Frosinone’s full-backs (Bracaglia and Terzić) and Como’s creative wide players (Assane Diao, plus overlaps from Yan Couto) could be decisive. If Frosinone’s defensive line steps too high to squeeze space on Baturina, Diao’s pace and dribbling on the break may expose them; if they sit deeper, Baturina’s passing range and M. Perrone or N. Paz’s movement between the lines can dictate tempo.
Match Prediction and Verdict
Win-probability data suggests a very balanced contest: around a 35% chance for Frosinone to win, 35% for the draw, and 30% for a Como victory. That contrasts sharply with the bookmakers’ odds, which imply a much higher winning probability for Como (away odds between 1.47 and 1.58 convert to roughly 63–68% implied probability), underlining that the statistical model is more optimistic about Frosinone’s chances than the market.
The comparison indices slightly favour Frosinone overall (overall comparison index 54.8 vs 45.2), but Como lead in form and attacking indices, while defensive metrics are essentially level. A Poisson index of 31 vs 69 tilts the goal expectation towards Como, but with Frosinone’s strong home scoring rate and the double-chance advice leaning towards Frosinone or draw, a tight, low-scoring encounter is the most plausible scenario. With no explicit goal predictions available, aligning with the double-chance guidance and under-goals angle points to a narrow home edge or a stalemate.
Predicted Outcome: Frosinone 1–1 Como
