According to Frosinone vs Benevento H2H Stats, all four previous meetings between these two clubs have ended in draws.

The last time these two clubs met were in the 2013/14 season in the Lega Pro when a 1-1 draw was played out at Benevento’s home ground. The three preceding matches had all finished goalless.

While Frosinone have registered more shots per game (13+ shots) as compared to Benevento (11 shots per game), it is the visitors who have registered more shots on target. Both clubs have won only two of their last five Serie B games, Benevento drawing the other three and Frosinone losing one of the other three.

It should be a closely contested affair with 1-1 being the most likely outcome.
