Juventus FC

vs

Calcio Como

Preview

Juventus (home)

• Juventus have had a mixed few weeks, drawing 2-2 with Lazio, losing 3-2 at Inter and exiting the Coppa Italia with a 3-0 defeat at Atalanta.
• Manager Luciano Spalletti (appointed October 2025) has implemented a 3-4-2-1 system with proactive pressing and fluid transitions.
• Recent home form:
  • Unbeaten in 12 Serie A home fixtures this season (W7, D5).

Como (away)

• Como are Serie A’s surprise package under Cesc Fabregas, who has favoured a possession-first, high-tempo identity since July 2024.
• They have shown resilience recently, holding AC Milan 0-0, edging Napoli on penalties after a 1-1 draw and losing 2-1 to Fiorentina in their latest match.
• The team will look to overload centrally and press aggressively, with quick transitions when they win the ball.

Head-to-Head

• Juventus have won two of the last three head-to-head encounters with Como.
• Como have won 5, drawn 3 and lost 3 of their 11 away Serie A matches in 2025-2026.

Key Players

• Anastasios Douvikas - 8 Serie A goals and Como’s attacking talisman.
• Juventus reliance on wide wing-backs and creative midfielders to link play will be crucial to breaking Como’s press.

Betting Insights

• Match odds: Juventus 1.99, Como 3.65, draw 3.4.
• Recommendation: Back Juventus on the double chance (win or draw) given their Allianz Stadium record this term.
• Goals market: Under 2.5 at 1.8 looks short but a close, tactical affair is likely.
• Stat lines:
  • Juve average: 2.08 goals per game at home (25 in 12).
  • Como away: concede 0.82 goals on average on their travels.

Prediction

• Take Juventus double chance (win or draw).
• Expect a tight, low-scoring game with key battles in midfield and wide areas.
