It was an exciting game to watch and Frosinone took the lead in the 13th minute only for Lazio to equalise 7 minutes before halftime.
Into the second half and Lazio took the lead in the 57th minute and scored their third goal 5 minutes later. Frosinone pulled one back in the 70th minute to make for a dramatic finish but Lazio held on.
The win at Frosinone was the first victory in 5 fixtures in all competitions for Lazio.
They lost each of their previous 4 matches with the defeats coming against AC Milan and Udinese at home in Serie A, Fiorentina away in Serie A, and Bayern Munich away in the Champions League.
The stats show Lazio have failed to win any of their 4 most recent home Serie A games. They have lost each of their last 3 league matches on home soil and have failed to score a goal in 2 of their last 4 home Serie A fixtures.
Juventus make the trip to the Stadio Olimpico having been held to a 0-0 draw at home with Genoa.
It was a disappointing result for Juventus as they aim to consolidate their position in the Champions League qualifying positions and they had a man sent off at the end of the match.
The draw with Genoa means Juventus are undefeated in 4 of their 5 most recent fixtures but have won only 1 of those 5 games.
The win came at home over Frosinone in Serie A but there have been draws in the league against Verona away and Atalanta at home. Juventus also lost 2-1 at Napoli.
Trends show Juventus are undefeated in 9 of their 11 most recent away Serie A matches. Juventus are undefeated in 35 of their last 38 encounters with Lazio in Serie A and have won 5 of the last 7 meetings with Lazio in all competitions.
Looking ahead to the team news and Lazio are without injured goalkeeper Ivan Provedel. They also have doubts over the fitness of Patric and Nicolò Rovella.
Juventus travel to the capital without suspended striker Dusan Vlahovic. Arkadiusz Milik and Carlos Alcaraz are both injured.
Juventus have a good recent record against Lazio, who have been struggling for goals in recent home matches. This could be another blow for Lazio in their quest for European football next season, with Juventus winning and keeping a clean sheet in the process.
