Frosinone

While Frosinone have not lost in Serie A for over a month, victories are needed for Di Francesco's men, whose top-flight status remains in danger.

The Canaries' last defeat was a 3-2 loss against Lazio on March 16, but four straight draws have prevented the 18th-placed side from leaving the danger zone.

Di Francesco's men gained creditable points at Genoa and Napoli, fighting back both times to pick up draws, but have fired blanks against Bologna and Torino. In all honesty, both were unsurprising given that Thiago Motta's team (joint-second-best defence) and Ivan Juric's side (fourth-best backline) have conceded 26 and 29 goals, respectively.

Thus, the Yellow and Blues will fancy themselves against a side that have let in 70 goals in Serie A this term, outdoing every other side after 33 games.

Having seen Lecce, Cagliari, Hellas Verona and Empoli secure pivotal points in the survival battle, Frosinine know full well that Friday is a must-win to boost their prospects of avoiding relegation to Serie B.

Salernitana

As for Salernitana, their top-flight fate could be sealed without kicking a ball, even if that will require a victory for Udinese in the rescheduled league fixture against Roma the day before — the initial fixture was suspended in minute 72 after Evan Ndicka collapsed, and the concluding period will be played on April 25.

If it ends 1-1 in Udine, it only delays the inevitable for a club without a win in Serie A since the backend of 2023 — a 1-0 triumph at Verona.

Unsurprisingly, Stefano Colantuono's side have the worst points return in 2024 in Serie A, securing three points from an available 45 since the turn of the year. Furthermore, the Campania outfit have scored the joint-fewest goals this year (11) and have let in the most (34).

While Colantuono is new to the job, the 61-year-old Italian will be in situ when Salernitana's relegation is ultimately assured.

They could go down swinging and possibly take Frosinone with them, but that requires a club with one win in 25 road games in Serie A to come up trumps on Friday.

Prediction: Frosinone 2-1 Salernitana
