Como vs Juventus

The Serie A clash between Como 1907 and Juventus FC is set to take place at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in Como, Italy. Kick-off is scheduled for 12:30 CET on Sunday, October 19, 2025. The scenic venue by Lake Como will host what promises to be an intriguing match as the home side seeks to establish themselves in the top half of the table, while Juventus aim to get back on track after a series of draws before the international break.

On the injury front, Como are dealing with several absences. Assane Diao remains sidelined with a foot problem, while Sergi Roberto is nearing a return but may not be fit enough to start. Jesús Rodríguez Caraballo continues to serve a suspension, and Jayden Addai along with Alberto Dossena are both recovering from muscle and ligament issues. Juventus have their own challenges: Gleison Bremer is ruled out with a meniscus tear, Juan Cabal has a thigh strain, and Edon Zhegrova remains unavailable with a hip injury. Fabio Miretti is still a doubt due to an ankle issue. These absences may see both coaches turn to younger or less-experienced squad members on the bench.

Cesc Fàbregas, in charge of Como, is expected to stay true to his possession-based philosophy. He will likely set up his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation, emphasizing quick transitions and pressing high to challenge Juventus’ build-up. The creative spark of Nico Paz in midfield and the experience of Álvaro Morata leading the line will be central to his approach. On the other side, Igor Tudor for Juventus will aim for a compact setup, alternating between a 3-4-2-1 and a 4-3-3 depending on available players. Without Bremer, he’ll rely on Rugani and Kalulu for defensive stability, while Locatelli and Thuram will be key in maintaining control in the midfield. In attack, Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceição are expected to provide width and pace behind the main striker.

Italian sports media have described the matchup as a meeting of two teams in contrasting moods. Como come into the game full of confidence at home, while Juventus face mounting pressure to turn possession dominance into goals. Reports have focused on the Bianconeri’s struggle to convert chances and their lengthy injury list. Commentators have also pointed out that Juventus have not lost to Como in Serie A for over two decades, a record that adds psychological weight to the encounter. However, recent performances suggest the visitors can’t take anything for granted against a well-drilled Como side.

In pre-match studio discussions, analysts have emphasized three main talking points. First, Juventus’ urgent need for a win to stay in the title race. Second, Como’s ability to disrupt stronger opponents through aggressive pressing and quick transitions. And third, the tactical battle in midfield, where control of possession will dictate the game’s rhythm. Experts predict a cautious but intense encounter, with both teams expected to focus on defensive discipline. Some analysts have tipped a low-scoring draw or a narrow Juventus victory, depending on whether their attacking players can finally find the finishing touch that has been missing in recent weeks.
