Frosinone preview: Strong start
Following their promotion back to Serie A last season, Frosinone began the campaign well with three victories and a draw in their opening five matches before the prolonged international break.
However, they did succumb to a 3-0 defeat to a stumbling Napoli side at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona last weekend due to a brace from Kevin De Bruyne either side of a Noa Lang strike.
Sassuolo preview: Steady start
Sassuolo have been steady at the start of this season despite the departure of the now sacked Fabio Grosso to big spending Fiorentina over the summer with Sassuolo beginning this season with two victories, two draws and two defeats thus far.
Sassuolo come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with AC Milan at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio-Emilia last weekend with a quick-fire equaliser scored by Cas Odenthal after Adrien Rabiot had opened the scoring in the second half for Milan.
Frosinone team news: Birligea out
Frosinone are without Daniel Birligea as he has succumbed to an injury in the last week or so with Austria international midfielder Florian Grillitsch also sidelined for the hosts.

Sassuolo team news: Leysen a doubt
Fedde Leysen has picked up a knee injury and so he is now a doubt for this one with the likes of Jay Idzes and Yeferson Paz having sustained injuries over the international break.
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Muric; Van Der Brempt, Caleta-Car, Cande, Doig; Adzic, Matic, Bakola; Berardi, Esposito, Lauriente

Questionable: Leysen (Injured), Pieragnolo (Fitness)
Frosinone vs Sassuolo prediction
Frosinone have played a proactive and fairly entertaining style of football as they seek to be perhaps even more competitive than simply steering themselves clear of the bottom three and the relegation places. Sassuolo themselves have put in some fun performances of their own thus far and both teams scoring would appear a decent bet for this one on Friday.
Frosinone vs Sassuolo tip: Both teams to score
