Como preview: Cesc’s Como
Como come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Atalanta in their most recent outing at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo a couple of weeks ago, continuing a steadily strong start to the season as they target European qualification.
Coached by Cesc Fabregas, Como spent heavily in the summer transfer window as they seek to continue their ambitions as they sit just outside of the top seven in Serie A with just one defeat in their six matches so far this season.
Juventus preview: Fun Juve
Ever since the appointment of Igor Tudor during the March international break, Juventus have been growing into becoming a more entertaining team to watch with their six Serie A matches consisting of 14 goals.
The Old Lady were frustrated with three successive draws before the October international break, most recently sharing a goalless draw against a strong AC Milan side at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Como team news: Jesus Rodriguez suspended
Como winger Jesus Rodriguez is missing through suspension for this weekend and they also have some key doubts, too, such as Ignace Van der Brempt, Sergi Roberto and Nicolas Kuhn.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Butez; Smolcic, Jacobo, Diego Carlos, Vojvoda; Maximo Perrone, Da Cunha; Nico Paz, Alvaro Morata, Baturina; Douvikas
Unavailable: Dossena (Injured), Diao (Injured), Jesus Rodriguez (Suspended), Addai (Injured)
Questionable: Van der Brempt (Injured), Sergi Roberto (Injured), Kuhn (Injured)
Juventus team news: A few issues
As they make the trip to Como this weekend, Juventus have a few key injury absentees such as defensive duo Bremer and Juan Cabal, as well as Poland international striker Arkadiusz Milik.
Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Rugani, Kelly; Kalulu, McKennie, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David
Unavailable: Pinsoglio (Injured), Bremer (Injured), Juan Cabal (Injured), Milik (Injured)
Questionable: Miretti (Injured)
Como vs Juventus prediction
The way in which Cesc Fabregas wants his Como team to play has been fairly predictable with the hosts seeking to get on the front foot and play a possession style, matched with an intensity off the ball. Juve can be Jekyll and Hyde in terms of how entertaining they are but they have unlocked an extra freedom in the final third with a lot of depth in attack. This should be quite a fun watch for the neutral this weekend.
