Eight days prior to that, they drew 1-1 away at Genoa, and their fifth most recent result was a 3-2 home win over Venezia on 6 September.

Head to head

Team news

What to watch

Atalanta's home record gives them a meaningful platform. Their average xG across their last five matches stands at 1.79, with an average xG against of 1.81, suggesting broadly even chance creation despite the mixed run of results. Frosinone's average xG against of 2.24 across their last five matches suggests they have been exposed in behind.

The contrast in rest going into Sunday’s game is significant: Atalanta last played on Thursday 22 October, giving them three days to recover, while Frosinone’s last match was on Friday 16 October — nine days of preparation. The head-to-head record at Atalanta weighs heavily in the home side’s favour.
