Fiorentina - Frosinone

Albert Gudmundsson leads the Fiorentina line at Artemio Franchi, Firenze, on 29 August 2026 as his side seeks a swift response to their opening league defeat. The forward is expected to spearhead a midfield-heavy setup featuring Cher Ndour and Franco Mastantuono, aiming to replicate the attacking fluidity shown in their recent 4-1 Coppa Italia victory over Benevento. After a heavy 4-0 loss to Roma last weekend, the home side will look to re-establish their rhythm and assert control against a visiting team that has struggled to find consistency in the final third.

Frosinone arrive looking to recover from a narrow 0-1 defeat to Juventus. With Antonio Raimondo and Seydou Fini expected to start in attack, the visitors will attempt to frustrate the hosts and build on the defensive discipline they displayed in their own 4-1 Coppa Italia win against Juve Stabia earlier this month. Having drawn three of their last five meetings with Fiorentina, Frosinone know how to stifle their opponents, setting the stage for a tactical battle on matchday 2.
