Juventus and Como will face each other in Serie A next week. The match between Thiago Motta’a side and Cesc Fàbregas’s team will be held at Juventus Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 7:45 pm UK time next Monday.

Juventus

Juventus are one of the biggest and most historic clubs in Italy. The Bianconeri have won the Scudetto as many as 36 times in their history. Juventus have also clinched the Coppa Italian on 15 occasions and the European Cup/UEFA Champions League twice.

There was once a time when it was given that Juventus would win Serie A. However, in recent years, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli all have become champions of Italy, and Juventus have struggled and slipped behind. Juve ended up third in the league table last season.

Juventus, though, will start the season aiming to win Serie A. They have a new head coach in Thiago Motta, who did exceptionally well at Bologna last season. The Bianconeri have a very strong squad, which includes the likes of Bremer, Danilo, Dusa Vlahovic, Douglas Luiz and Arkadiusz Milik.

Team News:

Juventus are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Di Gregorio will be in goal for the home team and will have Cambiaso, Bremer, Gatti and Cabal in front of him in defence. Locatelli and Thuram will be the two holding midfielders. Weah, Douglas Luiz and Yildiz will be in attacking midfield. Vlahovic will lead the line for Juventus.

Como

Como are a modest club in Italy. Under former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, Gli Azzurri did extremely well in Serie B last season and finished second in the league table, which saw them earn promotion to Serie A for the 2024-25 campaign.

While it is a fantastic story for Como, not many are expecting I Biancoblù to pull up any trees in Serie A this season. Fabregas’s side are expected by many to end up in the relegation zone and going down to Serie B at the end of the campaign.

Como have built a decent squad, though. Among the players Fabregas can call upon is the former Real Madrid and Manchester United central defender Raphael Varane. There is also Alberto Moreno as well as Pepe Reina and Alessandro Gabrielloni .

Team News:

Como are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Pepe Reina will be in goal for the visiting team and will have Iovine, Varane, Barba and Alberto Moreno will be the four defenders. Mazzitelli and Braunoder will be the gtwo holding midfielders. Gabriel Strefezza, Cutrone and Da Cunha will be the three playmakers. Belotti will lead the line for Como.

Key Factors to Consider

• Juventus failed to win any of their 3 pre-season friendly matches.
• Juventus scored 2 goals in 3 pre-season friendly matches.
• Juventus conceded 7 goals in 3 pre-season friendly matches.
• Como won 2 of their 4 pre-season friendly games.
• Como scored 5 goals and conceded 3 goals in 4 pre-season friendly games.

Conclusion

Como are a promoted club, while Juventus are one of the biggest teams in Italy and are an institution. While Cesc Fabregas’s side will be determined to put on a good shown, playing at home and having better players should be enough for Juventus to kick off their new Serie A campaign with a win.
