Como vs Juventus, two sides familiar with sharing points lately, meet in a fascinating Serie A encounter. Both clubs want to keep their unbeaten streaks alive but, more importantly, to rediscover the taste of victory.
Como have enjoyed a promising start to the campaign, sitting in the upper half of the table after six rounds. They have lost only once this season, yet three draws in their last four matches show room for improvement.

Twice, they surrendered a lead in the final 30 minutes, both times at home. Still, Cesc Fàbregas’ team remain strong at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, where they have avoided defeat in 11 of their last 12 league games.
Juventus, meanwhile, are facing their own frustrations. A missed Christian Pulisic penalty for AC Milan helped them claim a draw last time out, but it marked their fifth consecutive stalemate in all competitions.
Fans remember their bright start with three straight wins and now wonder when the momentum will return. Despite remaining one of only two unbeaten Serie A teams this season, Juventus currently sit fifth, three points behind leaders Roma and Napoli.

Their away form offers some comfort. The Bianconeri have not lost in five league trips, collecting two wins and three draws. They also won both meetings with Como last season, each producing over 2.5 goals. Como’s last league win over Juve came back in 1952.
Key statistics add intrigue: Como have not conceded at home in the first hour of play this season. Five of Juventus’ last six away games saw both teams score. Fewer than nine corners have been recorded in most of their recent fixtures.
Team news sees Como missing Jayden Addai, while Juventus remain without Arkadiusz Milik and Gleison Bremer, who both face extended recovery periods.
