Command Analysis
Juventus
ItalyCurrent form
Last season " target="_blank">https://www.juventus.com/"> Juventus did not have the opportunity to strengthen qualitatively, and also lost several important players for non-sporting reasons. However, this did not prevent the "Old Lady" from starting off well and holding the first round of the championship - right up until the winter break, the Turin team put serious pressure on Inter, but in the end they dropped out of the championship race. Juve finished the season in third place in the table, but did not remain without a trophy, winning the Italian Cup.
The long-awaited resignation of Massimiliano Allegri took place in the summer. Thiago Motta, who had impressed with Bologna in recent years, was chosen to replace him. The Old Lady seriously thinned out its ranks, sending Samuel Ayling-Junior to Aston Villa, who had never found his place in the squad, and Moise Keane went to Fiorentina. Dean Heysen, Matias Sule and Caio Jorge also left the club. Federico Chiesa is not training with the team, his future at Juventus is also predetermined. Adrien Rabiot's contract has expired.
As for incoming transfers, unlike last season, there are some. The new main goalkeeper will most likely be Michele Di Gregorio, who came from Monza, Douglas Luiz was acquired from Aston Ailla, Kefren Thuram arrived from Nice. The defensive flank was strengthened by Juan Cabal.
Juventus played a few friendly matches in the summer, among which it is worth noting the 0:2 defeat to Atletico Madrid, as well as the 2:2 home draw against Brest.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team will be without Filip Kostic, Arkadiusz Milik and Fabio Miretti today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Juventus are unbeaten in their last eight competitive home matches, with four wins and four draws.
- Juventus have met Como twice and have not lost to their opponents – a draw and a win
- Juventus have conceded just one goal in their last six home games
Tentative line-up : Di Gregorio - Cambiaso, Danilo, Bremer, Gatti - Locatelli, Thuram, Fagioli, Douglas Louis, Yildiz - Vlahovic.
Como
ItalyCurrent form
Como were considered one of the main contenders for promotion in Serie B last season, but Parma and Venezia were the main favourites for a direct ticket to the elite. However, Cesc Fabregas' team had a very strong second half and took advantage of the mistakes of their main rivals, managing to finish second in the table behind Parma and receive a direct ticket to the elite.
In the summer, Como" target="_blank">https://comofootball.com/">Como expectedly made attempts to strengthen - the main transfer today is Raphael Varane, but the Frenchman has already managed to get injured. Also, the "white-blues" strengthened the attack of Andrea Belotti, Pepe Reina and Emil Audero will fight for the place of the main goalkeeper, the experienced Alberto Moreno came to the flank of the defense, the Lombards clearly do not plan to become "whipping boys".
In the first match of the season, Como played away against Sampdoria in the Italian Cup. The "white-blues" failed to snatch a ticket to the 1/16 finals, drawing 1:1 with the "Blucerchiati" in regular time, but then losing to their opponent in a penalty shootout.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alessio Iovine is suspended. Luca Mazzitelli is injured and will miss the match, and Raphael Varane's participation in the match is in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- Como have met Juventus twice and scored both times against the Old Lady
- Como scored both of their goals against Juventus in the second halves
- Como have not lost in their last six official away matches – four draws and two wins
Estimated line-up : Reina - Cassandro, Goldaniga, Barba, Moreno - Brauneder, Baselli, Strefezza, Cutrone, Da Cunha - Belotti.

2.55Tip and bets
Juventus have been renewed over the summer and have acquired a new head coach – despite a number of personnel problems and not the best physical condition, the “Old Lady” is undoubtedly the favorite. It should not be difficult for the hosts to justify this status – Como, as the Cup match showed, is also not in the best shape yet, in the class the “white-blues” are significantly inferior, it makes sense to give preference to Juventus.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) for Juventus . This bet is offered with odds of 2.10
Bet on total
Juventus accustomed us to defensive football under Massimiliano Allegri, even in matches against lesser status opponents the Turin team could well play second fiddle in terms of results. Under Thiago Motta in friendly matches Juve did not differ significantly from itself last season, the defense will certainly be given a lot of attention, it is unlikely that we should count on an exchange of goals.
Bet - at least one will not score. This outcome is offered with odds of 1.65
Bet on the difference in the score
Juventus will certainly strive to start the season with a win – the level of the opponent allows the hosts to set such goals for themselves. It is unlikely that the match will turn into an easy walk for the “Old Lady”, but Juve will certainly take its three points on experience and class at home and will hardly be satisfied with a minimal victory, Como still has to play together in a new combination, and also get into shape.
The bet is for Juventus to win by two goals. This bet is offered at 4.10
