Frosinone 5-0 Mantova result, stats and report

Mantova led through Edoardo Saporiti's header but Empoli scored three times in the final half-hour to claim a 3-1 away victory in a match that turned completely on its head after the break.

Mantova came to Stadio dei Marmi and left with three points, their superior organisation and sharper use of the ball proving the difference in a match Carrarese ultimately could not control despite playing at home.

Mantova host a Pisa side that has not won away from home in their last ten attempts, making Sunday's Serie B fixture at the Stadio Danilo Martelli a potentially straightforward afternoon for the home side, provided they impose their structure early.

Frosinone open their Serie A home account having failed to score in their opening fixture, while Como arrive with seven wins from their last ten away matches and a clear tactical identity. This is a match that tells you more about structure than about form.

Mantova have been difficult to beat at home this season but Sampdoria arrive with a defensive structure that keeps games tight on the road. Sunday's fixture at the Stadio Danilo Martelli has the shape of a closely contested Serie B encounter.

Genoa host Frosinone on Saturday in a Serie A fixture that puts two very different momentum trajectories on a collision course. The data tells a clear story, and it is not one that flatters the home side.

Frosinone carry one of Italian football's most compelling home records into Sunday's Serie A encounter, but Venezia arrive in good heart and with a quiet resilience that makes them far more dangerous than their billing suggests.
