Match Information
Match Overview
Atalanta host Frosinone at New Balance Arena on October 25 in Regular Season - 8 of Serie A. Matchday 8 is the point where the season starts to take shape, and the table reflects that: Frosinone sit sixth, four places above tenth-placed Atalanta. Atalanta manager M. Sarri therefore meets a visiting side that currently holds the better league position.
The main factor is recent league form, and the two sides are heading in different directions. Frosinone beat Sassuolo 4-2 at home on October 16 after a 3-0 defeat at Napoli on October 10. Before that they beat Como 2-0 on September 20 and drew 1-1 at Genoa on September 12. Atalanta lost 3-2 at AC Milan on October 18, following a 3-1 home win over Venezia on October 12. Their other two listed league results are a 2-0 defeat at Juventus on September 20 and a 2-1 home loss to Cagliari on September 12. Across those five Serie A matches, Atalanta have two wins in the league sequence only if the Venezia result is counted alone, so their record is one win and three defeats in four listed league games.
The secondary factor is schedule. Atalanta played in the UEFA Europa Conference League on October 15, beating Pafos 3-1 at home between two league fixtures. That adds a European fixture to their recent workload. Frosinone's listed matches since September 12 are a mix of Serie A games and a club friendly against Benevento on October 2.
Neither side has reported injuries, so both managers appear to have full squads. M. Alvini's Frosinone and Sarri's Atalanta can both select from their listed squads without enforced changes, which makes the tactical choices more important than any absences.
The head-to-head record favors Atalanta in the listed meetings, though Frosinone won the most recent home meeting in August 2023. Overall, this is a match between a side whose form has been mixed and a visiting side that has scored seven goals in its last two Serie A wins.

Team Form Analysis
Atalanta
League Position: 10Atalanta Form Analysis
Atalanta's recent results are inconsistent. In the league they lost 1-2 to Cagliari at home on September 12 and 0-2 at Juventus on September 20. They then beat Venezia 3-1 at home on October 12 and lost 3-2 at AC Milan on October 18. That is one win from four listed Serie A matches.
In Europe they beat Pafos 3-1 at home in the UEFA Europa Conference League on October 15. That is the only other win in their listed form, and it came in the competition's League Stage - 1 fixture. It is relevant as a sign of schedule demands rather than as a measure of league standing.
Attacking output has improved. Atalanta scored three goals in each of their wins over Venezia and Pafos and two in the defeat at AC Milan, after scoring one goal across the Cagliari and Juventus games. Defensively, they conceded in four of the five listed matches, including two or more goals in three of them: Cagliari, Juventus's clean sheet aside, and AC Milan, where they let in three. The opposition has been varied, with Juventus and AC Milan among the toughest tests.
Frosinone
League Position: 6Frosinone Form Analysis
Frosinone have taken points in most of their recent league games. They drew 1-1 at Genoa on September 12, beat Como 2-0 at home on September 20, lost 3-0 at Napoli on October 10 and then beat Sassuolo 4-2 at home on October 16. That is two wins, one draw and one defeat in four Serie A matches, which fits with their sixth-place position.
They also beat Benevento 2-1 at home in a club friendly on October 2. That match is not a competitive fixture and should carry little weight in assessing form.
Attacking output has been strong in the latest league win, with four goals against Sassuolo. Their league goals scored across the four games are 1, 2, 0 and 4. Defensively the record is less secure: they conceded three at Napoli and two against Sassuolo, though they kept a clean sheet against Como.
Their results away from home are one draw at Genoa and one defeat at Napoli, while both league wins came at home. That makes the trip to Atalanta a useful test of whether their results can carry over on the road.
