Team News

Juventus
Como
  • Khéphren Thuram is expected to start in the number six role, with Douglas Luiz and Manuel Locatelli playing higher up the pitch.
  • Raphaël Varane has been ruled out for a month with an injury, while Pepe Reina and Alberto Moreno will start.

Prediction

  • After another disappointing league campaign, Juventus have begun another squad rebuild with a young manager in Thiago Motta, who is expected to bring significant tactical innovations and more proactive approach with and against the ball as seen with Bologna last season.
  • Como have put their faith in Cesc Fàbegras, who led the squad back to Serie A with an attractive playing style, while their rich ownership was able to afford the third highest wage bill in Serie B last season.
  • The Bianconeri have made some important signings and such make more in the upcoming days, although mostly at the cost of selling their talented young core to finance these signings. At the same time, their squad depth is poor in wide areas and this could affect their chances of properly competing with Inter for the Scudetto.
  • If the club can at least improve on the quality of their performances compared to last season, failing to win the title for the fifth season in a row could be a bit more digestible.
