Napoli vs Frosinone
The Partenopei’s leading scorer is not anticipated to retain the Capocannoniere crown secured at the backend of last season. But the centre-forward could aid the outgoing Serie A champions’ European qualification battle in the concluding matches of 2023-24.
Francesco Calzona's men slipped to eighth after Lazio hit cellar-dwelling Salernitana for four in a 4-1 win at the Olimpico, and Napoli aim to supplant the Biancocelesti by claiming maximum points on Sunday.
Supporters at the Maradona have reason to be optimistic about securing a 14th league triumph this term, having notched victory in their five previous Serie A meetings with Frosinone, scoring 18 times against the Ciociari.

Osimhen seeks landmark against Frosinone
Much has changed since Osimhen inspired Napoli to a 3-1 win at Frisinone in August 2023, with Napoli jettisoning Rudi Garcia and his replacement — Walter Mazzarri — in a mixed season witnessing a wretched defence of last year’s Scudetto.
Osimhen netted twice in the reverse fixture at Stadio Benito Stirpe, and the striker could seal his first brace against an opponent in the same campaign on Sunday.
The Nigerian has notched two braces against Spezia — in his debut season and did likewise in last year's title-winning campaign — and has strikingly done the same against Sassuolo, albeit adding one more both times to hit back-to-back hat-tricks against the Neroverdi in the previous campaign and this term.
However, the Nigeria international could hit a pair of goals this weekend to achieve another milestone at the Maradona in possibly his final weeks at the club.
What comes next for Napoli?
Victory for Napoli on Sunday will take them into sixth in the standings before Atalanta host relegation-threatened Hellas Verona at the Gewiss Stadium.
The tussle for sixth spot in Serie A is expected to go down to the wire, as four clubs are separated by six points at the time of writing, albeit with the Bergamo outfit having an outstanding game to play against Fiorentina. The Viola are also in the mix owing to Vincenzo Italiano's men playing a match fewer.
