As the Serie A season edges closer to its finale, Frosinone and Salernitana prepare to face off in a critical encounter at Stadio Benito Stirpe on April 26, 2024.
Both teams are in desperate need of a win to secure their place in Italy's top-flight football for another year, although Salernitana look all but gone.
Current Form
Frosinone's Current Form
Frosinone, currently sitting in the 18th spot, are fighting to climb out of the relegation zone.
They have shown resilience by remaining undefeated in the league for over a month, though their last four matches have ended in draws.
Their most recent defeat was a close 3-2 loss to Lazio on March 16. Despite their fighting spirit, the team’s inability to clinch victories in these draws has kept them in a precarious position.
Salernitana's Current Form
Salernitana, on the other hand, are struggling even more.
They haven’t won a match in Serie A since the end of 2023 and have managed only three points from their last 15 games, marking them as the team with the worst overall performance in 2024 so far.
This lack of victories has left them languishing at the bottom of the table, with a high likelihood of relegation.
