Frosinone Seek to Extend Strong Run Against Torino

Frosinone have scored 13 goals in their last three matches, while Torino look to bounce back from defeat.

A 4-2 win over Sassuolo, a thrilling 4-4 draw with Atalanta and a 5-1 victory over Lecce: Frosinone have been scoring for fun in recent weeks. With 13 goals in their last three matches, they return home hoping to keep their excellent form going. Torino, meanwhile, will be looking to get back to winning ways and climb the table. Their midweek defeat to Como ended a run of three straight victories, and the Granata will be determined to put that setback behind them.

Ché Adams scored against Como: it was the Scotsman’s 4th goal of this Serie A season. Since joining Torino, he has scored 19 top-flight goals and now ranks second only to Scott McTominay (25) among the highest-scoring Scottish players in Serie A history.
