Como has had a solid campaign in Serie A, particularly at home, where they have collected 15 points. However, they have struggled against top-six opponents, failing to win in their last five encounters, including losses to Bologna (2-0), Atalanta (2-1), and Milan (2-1).

Their challenge in this match is even greater due to key absences. Fadera, their main winger, is suspended following a red card, while three starting defenders—Kempf, Moreno, and Van der Brempt—are all doubtful due to injuries ahead of their clash with Juventus.

Juventus, on the other hand, is in need of points and will be boosted by their impressive 4-1 comeback victory against Empoli. Their new signing, Randal Kolo Muani, has already made an impact, scoring three goals in his first two appearances since arriving from PSG. Adding to Juve’s firepower, Dusan Vlahovic is back from injury, further testing Como’s defense, which has conceded 18 goals in 11 home matches.

The last meeting between these two sides was a dominant 3-0 victory for Juventus, with Como managing just one shot on target and a single goal attempt throughout the match. Given Juve’s momentum and Como’s defensive concerns, the visitors will have a strong chance of securing another win.
