Serie A

Fiorentina vs. Frosinone, both sides aiming to bounce back

Fiorentina and Frosinone want to put last week’s defeats behind them and pick up their first points of the season.

Putting Matchday 1 behind them and making a flying start to Matchday 2: that is the aim for Fiorentina and Frosinone as they meet at the Franchi. The Viola are hoping to bounce back immediately after suffering a 4-0 defeat in Rome. The Ciociari came close to drawing against Juventus and will want to build on their strong finish at the Stirpe as they begin their climb up the table.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

There have been 3 previous meetings between the two sides in Florence: 2 wins for Fiorentina (most recently 5-1 in Serie A 2023/24) and 1 win for Frosinone (1-0 in Serie A 2018/19).

Frosinone have scored in all 3 of their previous matches in Florence: exactly 1 goal per game for the Ciociari.

29 August marks the anniversary of Fiorentina’s foundation in 1926: today the Viola celebrate their 100th anniversary. In their last 9 competitive matches played on this date, Fiorentina have suffered just 1 defeat, a 1-0 home loss to Grasshoppers in 2013 in a Europa League qualifier. The remaining record is 4 wins and 4 draws.
