Frosinone vs Venezia: match statistics

Frosinone hold a slight edge thanks to their stronger recent form: they have collected 7 points from their last five matches, compared with Venezia’s 6. The hosts have scored 10 goals during that period, one more than their opponents, while their average home xG stands at 1.08 versus 0.97 recorded by Venezia away from home. However, Venezia remain highly ineffective on the road, having failed to score in their two league away matches and conceding an average of 2.0 goals per game. Frosinone have also been unimpressive at home — they have yet to score there, while the xG against them stands at 2.04 — making the draw a significant possibility. Despite these reservations, Venezia’s weaker defence, which has allowed opponents an xG of 1.69 and conceded 4 goals in two matches, slightly favours a breakthrough for the hosts.

The stronger signal for BTTS - No is primarily driven by Venezia’s attacking problems: in the current data, they have yet to score, while their average xG is only 0.97, with just 2 shots on target per match. Frosinone, on the other hand, should have good opportunities to score, as they create an average of 2.14 xG and record 19 shots and 7 shots on target, while Venezia allows opponents 1.69 xG. The last five matches provide arguments for both sides, as BTTS occurred in 60% of Frosinone’s games and 40% of Venezia’s, with the visitors scoring an average of 1.8 goals in those matches. Despite this improvement, the visitors’ attacking form is less convincing than the hosts’ advantage, and the league BTTS rate is only 35%. Therefore, the more likely scenario is that at least one team will fail to score.

The latest form of both teams points to goals: Frosinone have averaged 2.0 goals in their last 5 matches, while Venezia have averaged 1.8. At the same time, the hosts have conceded 1.2 goals per game during this period, compared with Venezia’s 2.0, which increases the potential for a high combined total. In their last five appearances, Frosinone’s matches finished Over 2.5 goals in 80% of cases, while Venezia’s did so in 60%; combined, both teams scored 19 goals during this period. The xG data also does not point to a tight match, as Venezia’s average xG stands at 2.05, while Frosinone average 7 shots on target from 19 attempts. The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals, as the projected total of 3.00 goals provides a clear margin above this line, even under a more cautious match scenario.

Frosinone has a clearly stronger first-half profile: in their last five matches, they averaged 1.5 goals scored before the break and 0.5 conceded, while Venezia averaged 0.4 scored and 0.8 conceded. The home side led at half-time in 50% of those matches, whereas Venezia did so on none of those occasions; moreover, the visitors went into the break trailing in as many as 40% of their games. Frosinone’s advantage is also evident in the quality of chances created, with an average xG of 2.14 compared with Venezia’s 0.97, while shots on target stand at 7 to 2. Venezia is nevertheless more dangerous after the break, recently averaging 1.4 goals in the second half, meaning scenarios involving the hosts surrendering their lead still carry significant weight. Despite this, Frosinone averaged 2.0 goals scored and 1.2 conceded in their last five matches, compared with Venezia’s 1.8 scored and 2.0 conceded, which most strongly supports the HT/FT 1/1 outcome: Frosinone to lead at the break and win the match.
