Comments, predictions Como vs Juventus: Away team is lucky

Latest Como vs Juventus squad information

Juventus will come into the match with a few notable changes to their squad. With number one centre-back Pierre Kalulu still out with a muscle injury, the opportunity has come for new signing Renato Veiga. The January signing, on loan from Chelsea, made his Juventus debut last weekend and is likely to continue to be trusted by coach Thiago Motta and given the chance to fill the central defensive position.

Not only Kalulu, the list of players who are out due to long-term injuries for Juventus also includes important names such as Bremer, Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik. Meanwhile, the situation of Andrea Cambiaso is also worrying the coaching staff as he is still struggling with an ankle problem, and his ability to play is unclear. However, good news has also come to Juventus when new signing Lloyd Kelly is expected to be completely healthy and ready to play his first match after joining the team from Newcastle United. Kelly's presence will bring more options and depth to the "Old Lady" defense.

One of the biggest headaches for coach Thiago Motta at the moment is choosing a sole striker for the starting lineup. Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus' top scorer, has been surprisingly benched recently. However, he was introduced in the second half of last week's win over AC Milan and played well alongside Randal Kolo Muani. Notably, Vlahovic also managed to leave his mark with his first league goal in 2025, showing an impressive recovery in form. Kolo Muani - who has scored three goals in just two matches - is on the verge of becoming the first Juventus player this century to score in each of his first three Serie A appearances, a promising milestone.

On the other side of the pitch, despite a host of new signings arriving from Como during the winter transfer window - including Greek striker Anastasios Douvikas - the biggest threat to Juventus' defence will still be Nico Paz. The Real Madrid loanee has been in fine form, scoring in each of his last four home games. He has also shown his dribbling skills and ability to create chances, completing more dribbles (45) than any other player in the Italian top flight this season. In addition to those absences, Como will also be without Alieu Fadera, who is suspended. The hosts are also without Alberto Moreno, Sergi Roberto, Alessandro Gabrielloni and Ignace Van der Brempt through injury - and new signing Mergim Vojvoda is also out. To strengthen the squad, Como have made quality additions in an ambitious mid-season transfer window, bringing in Maxence Caqueret, Alex Valle, Assane Diao and Jonathan Ikone, while out-of-form striker Andrea Belotti, once a star of Italian football, has been loaned out to Benfica as part of the coach's rebuilding plans.

Latest football review Como vs Juventus

Juventus are going through a turbulent period. After suffering consecutive defeats against Napoli in Serie A and then against Benfica in the final match of the Champions League, it seemed like bad luck was not going to let them go when the "Old Lady" welcomed a struggling Empoli at home in the last round.

Indeed, Juventus endured a nightmare first 15 minutes as former defender Mattia De Sciglio, who had spent many years with the team, unexpectedly scored the opening goal for the Tuscan team, causing sorrow for the home fans. Not stopping there, goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio made a mistake, leading to a penalty for Empoli, making the situation even worse. However, luck smiled on Juventus when VAR technology detected a previous handball by an Empoli player. Thanks to that, Di Gregorio was "saved" from a clear loss, and Juventus then had a dramatic comeback.

Thanks to a lucky VAR decision, a brace from new signing Randal Kolo Muani and two more goals in second-half stoppage time, Juventus secured an important victory, lifting their spirits after a poor start to the campaign. Notably, Empoli were reduced to 10 men in the extra time due to suspensions, giving Juventus the advantage to finish off their opponents. The win gives Juventus the chance to win back-to-back league titles for the first time in nearly three months if they can pick up all three points in Friday's game. If they do, they will leapfrog Lazio into fourth place in the table, a crucial step in the race for a Champions League spot next season. However, despite the signs of improvement, Juventus' performance has not been convincing, with their defence still showing many gaps. In addition, the frequent draws have caused coach Thiago Motta's team to win only 9 out of 23 matches in the top flight of the land of spaghetti. Therefore, it can be said that their minimum goal of qualifying for the Champions League next season is still very precarious, and they need to make a lot of effort to be able to complete that goal. For that reason, a victory, even a convincing victory, is enough to satisfy the coaching staff and fans in the away trip to Stadio Sinigaglia.

Juventus will have a tough task as they face a Como side desperate for points to avoid relegation. However, history is on the side of the "Old Lady" as they have gone 22 matches unbeaten against Como in Serie A. It has been a long time since fans have seen Como in the top flight, and perhaps not many people remember the last time this team beat Juventus. To go back in time, we have to go back to January 1952, a time when football was very different from now. However, Como are showing signs of revival. At the start of their return to the top flight, Lariani suffered a 0-3 defeat to Juventus in Turin, but since then, they have gradually begun to find their place and assert their position.

A few improved performances at the start of the year have helped Cesc Fabregas and his team-mates escape the relegation zone. However, they need to work harder as they are now in danger of falling back into the bottom three, sitting just two points above the relegation zone after failing to pick up a point in their last two games. As a result, Como have been active in the transfer market, both incoming and outgoing, in the hope of bringing in quality reinforcements to help them fight for Serie A survival. Despite bringing in some notable new signings, the investment has yet to pay off. After losing to Atalanta BC in their final game of February, the Lombardy club suffered another defeat against Bologna last weekend, underscoring the club’s woes. What is even more worrying is that Como have failed to win any of their last eight away games, showing their weakness and the difficulties they face when playing away from home. However, since being promoted from Serie B, Como have only lost four home games, showing their remarkable strength and stability when playing at home. With this solid support, they have every right to hope to cause Juventus a lot of trouble and even make the "Old Lady" suffer their second defeat in the tournament this season, creating a big surprise for fans.
