The first-round match of the Serie A season will be played at the Allianz Juventus stadium. The mighty Bianconeri will host the modest but ambitious Como, who has returned to the elite division of Italian football after many years. It will be a David and Goliath battle, where the underdog will try to give a fight to the underdog and create a sensation in the first round.

Odds on the match Juventus – Como

The odds for Juventus to win are extremely low and range from 1.315 to 1.363. Such values indicate that bookmakers consider the victory of the home team to be a foregone conclusion. Juventus is one of the giants of Italian football, possessing a powerful squad and playing on their field. In such conditions, it will be extremely difficult for them not to achieve a positive result.

Como, in turn, is seen as a clear outsider of the match. The odds of the guests’ victory are very high and range from 8.50 to 10.3. The probability of Como’s victory is estimated as extremely low. The team is significantly inferior to Juventus in class and is unlikely to be able to offer serious resistance on the opponent’s field.

A draw is also seen as unlikely. The odds for a draw are in the range of 4.75 to 5.41.

Juventus vs Como match prediction

Given the huge difference in class between the teams, their current form and the history of head-to-head encounters, the most likely outcome of the match is a confident victory for Juventus. “Bianconeri” are superior to “Como” in all parameters and, most likely, will be able to achieve a major success at home.

Juventus are favoured by their status as one of the giants of Italian football, the presence of many top-class performers in the squad and a wealth of experience in beating opponents of the level of Como. Even with the off-season and squad rotation, the Turin side should justify their status as clear favourites.

“Como” will certainly try to give a fight to the big-name opponent and show their best qualities. Promotion to Serie A will surely add motivation and emotions to the team. However, objectively, the Larians are far inferior to Juventus in terms of technical equipment and tactical skills. To expect points in Turin, they will need to play above their capabilities and hope for an incredible coincidence.

Recent official meetings

Juventus

“Juventus ended the 2023/24 Serie A season with a confident 2-0 victory over Monza. This result was a fitting end to a mixed season for the Bianconeri, who didn’t look as bright and powerful at the end of the season as their fans would have liked.

In the last 10 matches, Torino has won 3 wins, drawn 6 times and suffered 1 defeat. These statistics reflect Juventus’ problems with creativity and realisation of chances, as well as excessive caution in matches against direct rivals.

The Bianconeri’s main success was winning the Italian Cup. In the final match against Atalanta (1-0), Allegri’s team showed pragmatic and efficient football, managing to hold a minimal advantage and win the trophy. However, the road to the final was a thorny one – Juve lost to Lazio (1-2) in the semi-final but went through on aggregate.

In the championship, the Old Lady did not look so convincing. Draws with Bologna (3-3), Salernitana (1-1), Roma (1-1), Milan (0-0), Cagliari (2-2) and Torino (0-0) showed that Juventus sometimes lacked courage and excitement in attack. The team had plenty of possession, but too often got bogged down in positional attacks and could not find a sharp follow-up.

The end of the season was a particularly worrying sign, with the Bianconeri picking up just one win over Monza (2-0) and several consecutive draws. In these matches, Juventus looked predictable and uninspiring, as if the players were saving their strength and health before going on holiday.

Como

“Como” ended the 2023/24 Serie B season on a major note with six wins in their last ten matches. These results allowed the Larians to reach the Italian topflight.

At the end of the championship, the team demonstrated cohesion, character and unyielding. Victories over Feralpisalo (5-2), Bari (2-1), Catanzaro (2-1), Züdtirol (2-0) and Pisa (3-1) showed that Como can beat anyone in Serie B.

Of course, it was not without its misfires. Draws with Cosenza (1:1), Modena (0:0) and Sampdoria (1:1) deprived the team of several points, which could be useful in the fight for higher places. A 1-2 defeat to Cremonese in mid-March put Como in a difficult league situation.

Overall, the Larians can take last season as an asset. For the club, promotion is a definite success. Now Como will have to consolidate on the achieved positions and gradually progress.

History of head-to-head confrontations

Analysing the last 10 matches between Juventus and Como, it can be noted that they took place quite a long time ago – from 1986 to 2003. During this period Juventus won 4 victories, Como did not win once, and 6 meetings ended in a draw.

In their last head-to-head meeting in February 2003, Juventus won a convincing 3-1 victory. Before that, the teams had played to a 1-1 draw in October 2002.

The matches of the 1980s also saw Juventus advantage. “The Bianconeri won 3 matches out of 8, while Como did not win a single match. Five meetings ended in draws, with 4 of them being goalless.

If we consider the entire history of the confrontation between these teams, the statistics are even more eloquent. A total of 31 matches were played, of which Juventus won 15, while Como won only 4. Another 12 meetings ended in a draw.

“Juventus have scored a total of 49 goals, while Como have scored only 22. Juventus scored an average of 1.58 goals per match, while Como scored 0.71.

Thus, the history of Juventus and Como shows a clear advantage of the Turin club. “Juventus” not only wins more often in face-to-face meetings but also demonstrates a higher performance. For Como, matches against Juventus have always been a difficult challenge, as evidenced by the high number of draws and the minimal number of wins.
