Napoli will look to return to winning ways when they host Frosinone in the sixth round of Serie A, with their opponents aiming to extend an impressive start to the season.
Napoli have won five of their six previous league meetings with Frosinone, according to Opta. The most recent encounter ended 2-2 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on 14 April 2024.
They have scored at least twice in each of those six matches, producing 20 goals in total at an average of 3.3 per game.
Napoli have also won their past six Serie A fixtures against newly promoted sides, scoring 15 goals and conceding only two. The club have recorded longer winning runs against teams promoted to the top flight only twice: seven successive victories between 1987 and 1988, and a run of 15 between 2016 and 2019.
After drawing 1-1 with Fiorentina in their last league match, Napoli could draw consecutive Serie A games for the first time since January. They drew three in a row then, against Hellas Verona, Inter and Parma.
Frosinone have collected 10 points from their opening five matches of the 2026-2027 season. If they win their next game, they will become the first newly promoted club to reach at least 13 points after six rounds of a Serie A campaign since Juventus in 2007-2008, when Juventus had 13 points.
The last promoted side to take at least 10 points from its first five matches was Sampdoria in 2012-2013, when they earned 11.
Napoli have drawn only once in their past 23 Serie A matches immediately after international breaks, recording 16 wins and six defeats. That draw was a 2-2 result against Genoa on 16 September 2023. More broadly, they have won seven of their past eight league games, losing the other.
Manager Massimiliano Allegri has suffered nine Serie A defeats during 2026. The last time he lost 10 or more league matches in a single calendar year was in 2012, when his teams were beaten 11 times.
Frosinone lead Serie A this season for PPDA, the number of passes an opponent is allowed before a defensive action, with an average of 9.5. Napoli are 10th on 13.5.
Frosinone have also launched more fast breaks than any other side, with 13 producing 12 shots. Napoli are joint second-bottom in both categories, managing two fast breaks and one resulting shot. Bologna are last, without a fast break or a shot from one.
Matteo Politano has scored three Serie A goals against Frosinone, averaging one every 118 minutes. His only better scoring rate against another opponent is against Benevento, where he scores every 99 minutes. Gonzalo Higuain, Andrea Belotti and Duvan Zapata have scored five times against Frosinone in the top flight, while Suso has four.
Frosinone’s Giorgi Kvernadze has scored in his past three Serie A appearances and could become the first player in the club’s history to score in four consecutive matches. Matias Soule also scored in three successive games in October 2023.
Kvernadze leads the league for successful dribbles this season, completing 16.
