Napoli vs Frosinone: Visitors Missing Top Scorer
Published
Napoli host Frosinone in Serie A on Saturday 10 October 2026 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Napoli. The visitors arrive in sixth place, three points clear of the home side, but enter the match without their leading goalscorer Antonio Raimondo.
Frosinone arrive unbeaten in four but missing Raimondo
Frosinone hold sixth position in Serie A with 10 points from five fixtures, having scored nine goals and conceded four. Their league form includes three wins in their last four matches: a 3-0 victory away at Fiorentina on 29 August 2026, a 3-2 home win over Venezia on 6 September 2026, a 1-1 draw away at Genoa on 12 September 2026, and a 2-0 home victory against Como on 20 September 2026. On the road in Serie A, they have collected four points from two matches while conceding just one goal.
However, four players are ruled out through injury. Antonio Raimondo, who leads the club with four goals in all competitions this season, is sidelined alongside Aleksa Terzić, Daniel Bîrligea, and Florian Grillitsch. Over their last five games with chance metrics, Frosinone generated 1.48 expected goals while allowing 2.02 expected goals per game.
Napoli seek defensive stability amid five confirmed injuries
Napoli sit ninth with seven points and a plus-one goal difference from five league games. Their previous five outings across all competitions produced three defeats: 1-2 at home to Como on 30 August 2026, 2-3 away at Inter on 5 September 2026, and 0-1 at home to Arsenal on 9 September 2026. They followed those losses with a 1-0 home win over Bologna on 13 September 2026 and a 1-1 draw away at Fiorentina on 20 September 2026.
Defensive absences test the squad depth. Alessandro Buongiorno, Alisson Santos, Antonio Vergara, Costantino Favasuli, and Mathías Olivera are all out with injuries, while midfielder Frank Anguissa is listed as doubtful. Rasmus Højlund leads the side with two goals this season. Over their last five matches with tracking data, Napoli have allowed 2.03 expected goals per game while generating 1.45.
Our model firmly expects a Napoli win
Our forecasting model firmly expects a Napoli win. Frosinone are positioned three places higher in the table, but the loss of Raimondo strips away four of their nine goals this season. Napoli took four points from the two previous Serie A meetings between these clubs, winning 3-1 away on 19 August 2023 and drawing 2-2 on 14 April 2024.
