The Matchday 24 clash in Serie A between Como and Juventus will take place on February 7 at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium. Como vs. Juventus: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Como
Cesc Fàbregas' side suffered a 0-2 defeat away to Bologna in the last round. As a result, Como lost back-to-back matches for only the second time this season. Moreover, the team failed to score for the first time in six matches in Serie A. In the standings, the club dropped to 15th place with 22 points. Notably, Como has conceded 38 goals this season, with only three teams having worse defensive records.
Defenders Ignasi Van der Brempt, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Mergim Vojvoda, and Alberto Moreno, along with midfielder Sergi Roberto, will miss the game due to injuries. Before this round, defender Mergim Vojvoda and forward Anastasios Douvikas joined the team, while goalkeeper Emil Audero and forward Andrea Belotti departed.
- The team has not lost in 4 of their last 6 home matches in Serie A (3 wins, 1 draw).
- The club has scored in their last six home league encounters.
- The number "2" appeared in the final score in 5 of Como's last 7 home matches in Serie A.
Predicted lineup for Como (4-2-3-1)
Jean Butez – Alex Valle, Edoardo Goldaniga, Alberto Dossena, Yannick Engelhardt – Maxence Caqueret, Maximo Perrone – Nicolas Paz Martinez, Assane Diao, Alieu Fadera – Patrick Cutrone.
Juventus
In the last round, Thiago Motta's side confidently defeated Empoli 4-1 at home. As a result, Juventus secured their ninth win of the current Serie A season. Notably, in 9 of their last 10 league matches, the club has failed to keep a clean sheet. The Turin side remains fifth in the standings with 40 points. It's worth noting that with 20 goals conceded this season, Juventus has a better defensive record than only two teams.
Defenders Gleison Bremer, Pierre Kalulu, and Juan Cabal, as well as forward Arkadiusz Milik, will miss the match due to injuries. Before this round, defender Lloyd Kelly joined the Turin squad, while midfielder Nicolo Fagioli went out on loan.
- The club has not lost in 14 of their last 15 away matches in Serie A (4 wins, 10 draws).
- Both teams scored in five of the team's last away league matches.
- The Turin side scored exactly one or two goals in 6 of their last 7 away matches in Serie A.
Predicted lineup for Juventus (4-2-3-1)
Michele Di Gregorio – Weston McKennie, Pierre Kalulu, Federico Gatti, Renatu Veiga – Manuel Locatelli, Teun Koopmeiners – Kenan Yildiz, Timothy Weah, Nicolas Gonzalez – Randal Kolo Muani.
Como vs. Juventus: Match Prediction
At home, Como players are active in creating chances. The club scores regularly in home matches and has failed to find the net only once in their last 11 home league games, scoring at least twice in five of those encounters.
Juventus, even away, tries to spend a lot of time attacking. In their last 14 away Serie A encounters, the club left the field without scoring only twice, breaking through the opposition's defense at least twice in seven of those matches. However, Thiago Motta's side does not always play confidently in defense, conceding ten goals in their last eight away league games.
I expect both teams to play actively in attack, leading to an exchange of goals. My prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
