Como vs. Juventus: Match Prediction
At home, Como players are active in attack. The club regularly scores in home matches and has failed to find the net only once in their last 11 home games in the current championship. In five of these matches, the team scored at least twice.
Juventus, even away, tries to spend a lot of time attacking. In their last 14 away Serie A matches, the club failed to score only twice, and in seven games during this period, the Turin side breached the opponent's defense at least twice. However, Thiago Motta's team is not always confident in defense, conceding ten goals in their last eight away league matches.
I expect both opponents to play actively in attack, leading to goals from both sides. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
