2026-2027 Serie A: Fiorentina vs. Frosinone, Probable Lineups
Fiorentina and Frosinone face off at 6:30 p.m. in a match for the second round of Serie A. In their season opener, the Gigliati suffered a heavy defeat in Rome, and now hope to bounce back in their home debut at the Franchi with a completely revamped lineup. Frosinone lost their first home game against Juventus.
Grosso has made significant changes following the disappointing match against the Giallorossi; Oulai starts in midfield while Fagioli takes a seat on the bench, and Gudmundsson returns to the attack alongside Pellegrino and Mastantuono. The two fullbacks will be Jimenez and Valdepenas, with Dragusin and Pongracic in front of De Gea. Moise Kean, who is on his way out, will obviously not be playing.
Ghedjemis, rumored to be leaving, is not in Alvini’s lineup: the attacking trio will consist of Fini, Raimondo, and Kvernadze. In midfield, Calò will call the shots with Schmid and Cichella flanking him; the fullbacks will be Cittadini and Bracaglia.
Fiorentina vs. Frosinone, probable lineups
FIORENTINA (4-3-3): De Gea; Jimenez, Dragusin, Pongracic, Valdepenas; Ndour, Oulai, Atta; Mastantuono, Pellegrino, Gudmundsson. Coach: Grosso
FROSINONE (4-3-3): Palmisani; Cittadini, Calvani, Monterisi, Bracaglia; Schmid, Calò, Cichella; Fini, Raimondo, Kvernadze. Head Coach: Alvini
““We don’t need to convince anyone; we’re confident in what we’re doing and the challenges we’re facing, but we’re equally confident that the many talented young players we have on the team—with hard work and a little time—will bring us great satisfaction,” said Grosso on the eve of the match. The challenge is that change inevitably brings turbulence, difficulties, and the need to adapt. There are days when you think you’re taking steps forward, and others when you realize you’re taking many steps backward. If you want to try to change and build something, you must have the patience, strength, and will to stick with these changes and absorb the major difficulties that come with them.”
