Frosinone Being Investigated for Match Fixing

According to La Repubblica, a consortium of Italian bookmakers has prepared a dossier evidencing anomalous betting behaviour on five Serie A matches from the 2015-16 season.

Each of the five games involves Frosinone, whose defeat to Napoli has already attracted suspicion for the high number of bets placed on one of their players being sent off.

Frosinone have denied any wrongdoing or association with attempted match-fixing.

Strange betting trends in Frosinone's 4-2 defeat to AC Milan, 4-0 loss at Genoa, a 2-1 win over Verona and both defeats to Napoli this season have also been registered and will now be passed on to the authorities for further investigation.

Bets on heavy defeats for Frosinone were much higher than would normally be expected, according to Italian bookmakers, while Frosinone's 5-1 defeat at home to Napoli attracted more bets than any other fixture in Serie A all season. In-game bets on Frosinone beating Verona reached a peak late on in the game, moments before they scored the winning goal.
