The Serie A match between Frosinone and Lecce, scheduled for matchday 9, has been confirmed with the official lineups published by the club. The Frosinone coach, Alvini, maintained the same layout as always, while the Lecce coach, Di Francesco, had to restructure the team due to numerous absences, opting for a 3-4-2-1 different from the traditional 4-3-3.
Frosinone presented a 4‑2‑3‑1 formation: Palmisani at the last bastion, with Oyono, Calvani, Monterisi and Terzic in defence. The midfield is made up of Cichella and Calò, while the attacking department sees Ghedjemis, Schmid and Kvernadze. Raimondo was chosen as right back. Lecce, however, adopted a 3-4-2-1: Falcone accepted the role of goalkeeper, while the defensive line was made up of Siebert, Tiago Gabriel and Ndaba. The midfield is structured with Veiga, Ngom, Maleh and Gallo, while the attack is led by Gandelman and Monteiro, with Geubbels completing the pair of attackers.
Post-match, Di Francesco explained that the tactical choices were dictated by the availability of the players. He underlined the importance of adapting to circumstances and praised Frosinone's quality, saying he knew their ability to play forward. Lecce defender, Ngom, commented on Frosinone's quality, recognizing their attacking strength. Frosinone midfielder Monterisi asked fans to play with humility and give less importance to social media.
