Two teams beaten on matchday one will be looking to get their first points of the season, with the Viola hoping to respond after their heavy opening-round defeat.
Fiorentina ended matchday one at the bottom of Serie A following a humiliating 4-0 loss to Roma.
It was a nightmare start to Fabio Grosso’s tenure as Viola boss, and he now faces the task of reversing a run that has seen the club win just one of their last seven league matches, following a poor finish to last season.
However, Fiorentina can take some encouragement from their eight-match unbeaten league run at home.
They also managed to keep all three newly promoted sides scoreless in their home meetings last season, offering further hope ahead of this encounter.
Meanwhile, Frosinone suffered a less damaging defeat in the opening round, but their 1-0 loss to Juventus still served as a reminder of the challenge awaiting them on their return to Serie A.
The visitors failed to build on their impressive 4-1 victory over Juve Stabia in the Coppa Italia clash.
Heading into their second Serie A game of the season, they can take confidence in their impressive away form in Serie B.
They were unbeaten in their last 15 away games, winning nine and drawing six, which helped in their promotion to the top flight.
Massimiliano Alvini’s side will look to avoid a back-to-back defeat to avoid getting rooted in the relegation zone.
