Salernitana is facing Frosinone tonight, February 23, 2025, at the Arechi Stadium, as part of the Serie B championship. With both teams fighting to escape the relegation zone, the stakes are incredibly high. The Salernitana, led by coach Roberto Breda, manages to maintain consistency with their 3-5-2 formation, relying heavily on Christensen, Bronn, and Lochoshvili at the back. The hosts are motivated, especially after securing seven points over their last five matches, yet they've recently felt the sting of defeat, losing 3-2 to Carrara.
Frosinone, on the other hand, has had a tough start to 2025, with just three points collected since the new year, underlining the gravity of their situation. Newly appointed coach Paolo Bianco hopes to change the course of the season, as Frosinone aims to shift away from the depths of the table. The visitors set up in a 4-3-3 formation, presenting the trio of Partipilo, Ambrosino, and Begic up front, highlighting their offensive strategy.
The match kicks off at 17:15, with referee Luca Massimi officiated by his assistants Costanzo and Belsanti. Early moments see Frosinone dominating possession, applying pressure, and orchestrated by forwards intent on finding openings. Salernitana seems cautious, focusing primarily on defensive tactics.
Caligara's early yellow card for Salernitana sets the tone for what was to become a physical contest. By the 27th minute, Frosinone earns their breakthrough goal. Partipilo swiftly transitions the play by exchanging passes with Ambrosino before hitting the target with precision. His left-footed drive trickles through the Salernitana defense and leaves goalkeeper Christensen frustrated—a true turning point, putting Frosinone up 1-0.
With the scoreboard flashing 1-0, Frosinone's momentum seems unshakeable. Attempts to calculate more goals keep Salernitana on the back foot, marked by continuous defending and uninspired attacks. Salernitana’s offensive plays become increasingly frantic, failing to create clear chances as they try to level the game.
Half-time arrives with Salernitana failing to respond after Frosinone’s opening goal. The intermission sees Breda make tactical changes, bringing on Tongya to revitalizae the midfield dynamics.
