Frosinone and Sassuolo meet with two points between them
Frosinone and Sassuolo meet in Serie A on October 17, with only two points between them in the standings.
Frosinone are ninth with 10 points, while Sassuolo are 11th with eight.
Frosinone are looking to recover from a 3-0 loss to Napoli, which ended a four-match unbeaten run.
The club returned to Serie A after promotion from the second division last season, and a strong start has raised hopes of avoiding another relegation.
Sassuolo drew 1-1 with AC Milan in their last match and are still seeking their first away win of the season.
The teams have split their last five meetings, with two wins each and one draw, so neither has a clear recent advantage.
A win could move Sassuolo above Frosinone, but accounts differ on the match venue: one says Stadio Benito Stirpe, while another lists PSC Arena.
