Sassuolo have gone nine away matches without a win, and their attempt to end that run at Frosinone comes without F. Leysen, who started each of their last five games. Frosinone have a response of their own to make after losing 3-0 at Napoli.
The visitors’ away record contrasts with a scoring streak stretching across eight matches. They also took a point from AC Milan in a 1-1 home draw, while Frosinone come into Friday’s meeting seeking their first points of the league campaign.
Leysen is ruled out with a knee injury, one of five confirmed absentees for Sassuolo. D. Boloca and J. Idzes are out with muscle injuries, I. Kone has a broken leg and Y. Paz is sidelined by a knee injury. E. Pieragnolo is also dealing with a knee injury and is questionable.
Frosinone have two confirmed absences. D. Birligea misses out with a muscle injury, while F. Grillitsch is unavailable because of a thigh injury.
The hosts sit 19th with no points after their defeat at Napoli. Sassuolo are 11th with one point following the draw against Milan. Both have played one league match, leaving the immediate task straightforward: Frosinone want to get off the mark, while Sassuolo seek a first league victory and an end to their away drought.
Across their last five matches, Frosinone have recorded two wins, two draws and one defeat. Sassuolo’s corresponding sequence contains one win, three draws and one loss. Their recent head-to-head record offers no separation either: the three meetings since July 2024 have produced one victory apiece and a draw.
There is also a potential milestone for Matteo Cichella, who is one appearance short of 50 league outings for Frosinone.
Farès Ghedjemis has offered a view of the continuity behind Frosinone’s approach. After renewing with the club, he credited their continuing identity to most of last season’s squad staying together. He also praised coach Massimiliano Alvini’s work to develop every player and give individual strengths room to show.
That continuity now faces Sassuolo’s eight-match scoring run. The Week 7 fixture in the 2026/2027 Serie A season kicks off at Frosinone on Friday 16 October at 20:45 CEST, with the visitors looking to turn another scoring performance into a break from their away-day pattern.
