Juventus manager Igor Tudor appears ready to trust his instincts ahead of the upcoming Serie A showdown against Como. According to Tuttosport, the Bianconeri coach has chosen to rely on a familiar attacking trio as he aims to reignite his team’s form.

The Turin giants have endured a frustrating spell, recording five consecutive draws across all competitions, three of which came in Serie A. These results have pushed Juventus down to fifth in the table.

Still, they remain only three points behind league leaders Napoli — a gap that keeps hopes alive but leaves no room for more slip-ups. Following the international break, Juventus will be eager to rediscover their rhythm.

The trip to Lake Como, however, promises to be anything but easy. Tudor faces defensive headaches, with Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal both suffering injury setbacks. That leaves him short of options in defence and the wing-back positions.

Attack’ trio against Como

Despite the challenges, Tuttosport reports that Tudor intends to keep faith in his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation. The system has come under scrutiny, particularly because Juventus have struggled to find consistent scoring form.

The central striker role has been a revolving door this season, with several candidates failing to deliver decisive performances. This time, Dusan Vlahovic looks set to spearhead the attack.

The Serbian forward boosted his confidence by scoring during Serbia’s latest World Cup qualifier against Andorra. Tudor hopes that goal will help Vlahovic regain the sharpness Juventus have been missing.

Meanwhile, Loïs Openda and Jonathan David have not impressed on international duty. Both endured goalless outings, and David’s long journey back from the Americas could also affect his fitness and availability.

Behind Vlahovic, Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceição are expected to provide creativity and energy. Yildiz enters the match in superb form after netting three goals in two games for Turkey, including a stunning brace against Bulgaria.

Conceição, on the other hand, saw limited minutes for Portugal but remains fresh and ready to make an impact.

Tudor’s decision to stay loyal to his system and frontline could define Juventus’s path forward. A victory in Como would not only restore confidence but also reaffirm the club’s pursuit of the Serie A summit.
