Juventus vs Como Preview
Juventus
Juventus, now under the guidance of new manager Thiago Motta, will make their start of the Serie A season when they host Como at the Allianz Stadium on Monday evening.
Juventus spiritedly started last season’s Serie A campaign as they closely followed pacesetters Inter Milan. However, they faded badly as the season wore on, eventually finishing a distant third with a yawning 23-point gap to the champions.
Manager Max Allegri came under fire, leading to the hiring of Bologna’s Motta. The side has also refreshed their ranks with the arrivals of Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz, alongside Michele Di Gregorio and Kephren Thuram.
In their last three pre-season outings, Juventus went winless. They suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Nuremberg, were held to a 2-2 draw by Brest, and lost to Atletico Madrid 2-0. Our football predictions suggest that they will look to bounce back against Como on Monday.
Como
Cesc Fabregas will make his competitive debut in Serie A as Como manager after he replaced Osian Roberts.
Como have also shown significant ambition ahead of the new season with the signing of free agent Raphaël Varane after his Manchester United contract expired.
I Lariani’s pre-season has also been encouraging. They recorded wins against Cagliari (1-3) and Las Palmas (1-2). They lost once against Al-Hilal (0-1) and drew 0-0 against Wolfsburg. However, they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia in the first round by Sampdoria on penalties (4-3) after a 1-1 draw.
Como have significant potential for improvement ahead of their Serie A campaign and will give Juventus a run for their money in the opener on Monday.
