Bari vs Frosinone Match Recap - Nov 22, 2025
Frosinone's Resilience Shines as Bari's Struggles Continue in 3-2 Thriller
Frosinone's victory over Bari not only solidifies their position in the promotion race but also exposes Bari's ongoing struggles to find consistency. With this win, Frosinone climbs to 22 points, maintaining their fourth-place standing, while Bari remains mired in 15th with just 13 points.
Frosinone's attacking prowess was on full display, with Antonio Raimondo and Farès Ghedjemis continuing their impressive form. Raimondo opened the scoring early, showcasing his ability to capitalize on defensive lapses. His performance today adds to a growing tally that now stands at five goals this season, making him a key figure in Frosinone's push for promotion. Ghedjemis, who also found the net, has been instrumental in providing the finishing touch to Frosinone's attacking play, further emphasizing their offensive depth.
Bari's reliance on Christian Gytkjær and Gaetano Castrovilli has become increasingly evident. Gytkjær, who scored in the previous match against Spezia, managed to find the net again today, but it wasn't enough to secure points for his team. Castrovilli's late goal provided a glimmer of hope, yet it ultimately fell short of changing the outcome. Bari's inability to convert possession into meaningful chances continues to haunt them; despite holding 54% possession today, they struggled to create clear-cut opportunities.
Recent form paints a stark contrast between these two teams. Frosinone has shown resilience, bouncing back from a disappointing draw against Modena with this crucial win. Their last five matches include three victories and two draws, indicating a team that knows how to grind out results. In contrast, Bari's form has been erratic, with only two wins in their last five outings. The inconsistency is alarming for a team fighting relegation, as they have dropped points in matches where they had the upper hand statistically.
Frosinone's midfield trio of Ilias Koutsoupias, Giacomo Calò, and Ben Lhassine Kone has been pivotal in controlling the tempo of the game. Their ability to disrupt Bari's build-up play and transition quickly into attack has been a hallmark of Frosinone's recent success. Koutsoupias, in particular, has been a standout performer, contributing both defensively and offensively. His work rate and vision have allowed Frosinone to maintain pressure on opposing defenses.
Bari's defensive frailties were once again exposed today. The backline struggled to cope with Frosinone's pace and movement, leading to critical errors that resulted in goals. Coach Fabio Caserta must address these issues if Bari hopes to climb out of the relegation zone. The team's defensive organization has been inconsistent, and today's match highlighted the need for greater cohesion among defenders.
The match also showcased the contrasting styles of both teams. Frosinone's quick transitions and clinical finishing contrasted sharply with Bari's more methodical approach that often lacked urgency. Bari's tendency to dominate possession without translating it into goals has become a recurring theme this season. They recorded 11 total shots but only managed three on target, underscoring their struggles in front of goal.
Looking ahead, Bari faces a crucial match against Empoli next week. They must find a way to convert their possession into points if they are to avoid further slipping down the table. The pressure is mounting on Caserta and his squad as they seek to turn their fortunes around.
Frosinone will look to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next fixture against Reggiana. With players like Raimondo and Ghedjemis firing on all cylinders, they will be confident in their ability to continue their ascent up the Serie B standings.
This match serves as a reminder of the fine margins in football; Frosinone capitalized on their chances while Bari faltered when it mattered most. The narrative of this season continues to unfold, with Frosinone establishing themselves as serious contenders for promotion while Bari grapples with the specter of relegation looming ever closer.
