ITALY: Serie A - Juventus VS Frosinone, Analysis and Match Preview

Preview
With a Champions League fixture against Atletico Madrid on their horizon and having built a 11-point lead at the top of Serie A (SA), Juventus still can afford to be distracted. They have, however, dropped points only three times this season, but two of those were in the last six (D2, W4). Their perfect synchrony can be gauged by their SA dominance – most wins (20), second-most goals (49) and the best defence (15 conceded).
Two of Juve’s draws have come at home (W10, D2), with six clean sheets to their name. They have conceded just eight home goals this SA season, but three of those have come in their most recent fixture.
Frosinone are battling relegation and two wins in their last three (W2, L1) puts them just a win away from safe zone. The visitors have conceded the third-most goals in SA (43), but just 15 in their last ten SA games.
Frosinone are now chasing three away wins on the trot for the first time in their SA history, but come up against a Juventus side that they’ve never beaten competitively (D1, L4). They failed to score in seven of their 12 SA trips, but scored 11 goals in the remaining five!
Players to watch: Mario Mandžukić (JUV) has scored five of his SA season goals at home, all ending in wins. Meanwhile, the last three SA goals from Camillo Ciano (FRO) have won his side four points.
Stat attack: Juventus scored first in 11 of their 12 SA home games, and haven’t been losing at the break in those 12.
All five H2H matches saw under 2.5 goals, with only one game witnessing both sides score.
There has been a clean sheet on either side in eight of Frosinone’s last ten SA away games.
Frosinone picked up 68.75% (11 of 16) of their points and 64.71% (11 of 17) of their goals away from home this SA season!
