Como — Juventus : Match Preview and Prediction for October 19,2025

Como has made a substantial financial investment for their second season in Serie A, with the clear ambition of transforming from a mid-table side into a contender for European qualification. Cesc Fàbregas’s squad has been strengthened by approximately €100 million in new signings. In their new guise as a team vying for continental tournaments, they are still adapting, occasionally dropping points in matches they are expected to win. Nevertheless, their start to the season cannot be labeled a failure for ‘The Larians’.

Before the international break, Nico Paz and his teammates played to a 1-1 draw against Atalanta in Bergamo, with both sides exchanging goals within the opening 20 minutes. Consequently, Como has suffered only one defeat in their opening six league matches and currently sits in the top eight, enjoying an impressive five-game unbeaten streak. This form suggests they will undoubtedly fight hard for points at home against Juventus. For the clash against the Turin giants, Addai, Diao, Dossena, and Rodriguez will be unavailable, while Kühn, Sergi Roberto, and Van Den Brempt are doubtful.

Juventus has also had a respectable start to their season. Igor Tudor had his contract as head coach extended for a couple of years over the summer, having successfully guided ‘the Bianconeri’ to Champions League qualification for this season. However, the team now seems to be caught in a ‘draw euphoria’.

Following a 0-0 home draw against Milan, this marks their fifth consecutive stalemate (after three initial victories). On one hand, they remain undefeated, but a transitional team cannot truly ascend without securing consistent wins. Juventus sits firmly in the top five of the league table before the break, but the standings are incredibly tight, so their performance in the upcoming October fixtures will be crucial. Bremer, Cabal, Miretti, Milik, and Pinsoglio will miss the game in Como.
