Como v Juventus

Como vs Juventus Preview

Como slipped to a second defeat on the trot in the Italian top flight last weekend when the upcoming hosts were dealt a 2-0 defeat away from home at Bologna and although Como return to their Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia for Friday night's encounter against Juventus, the hosts may face another difficult evening at the office.

Juventus by contrast inflicted a heavy 4-1 home win upon Empoli which saw the Old Lady bounce back from a previous 2-1 loss away from home at Napoli and in turn helped the visitors remain in their current fifth place position in the domestic top flight table.

Como's second loss on the trot has resulted in Friday night's hosts to drop down the Serie A standings to 15th place in the table where Cesc Fàbregas's side now only hold a slender two-point cushion above the relegation zone ahead of this weekend's action.

The bigger picture shows Como have managed to capture just three wins from their last 17 matches in the domestic top flight which were gained by way of victories against the likes of Roma, Lecce and Udinese respectively, whilst also slipping to nine defeats in the process as well.

However, Como have more or less managed to hold their own at least at home where the hosts have picked up four wins, three draws as well as four losses, while goals have also featured with eight of Como's 11 home games resulting in both teams scoring.

Juventus have been dealt just the single defeat throughout their whole Serie A campaign so far this season which came by way of a recent 2-1 loss away from home at Napoli but otherwise, Thiago Motta's side have been extremely tough to beat this term.

Nine wins along with being involved in no fewer than 13 draws have helped Juventus remain in the race for a possible top four finish in this campaign along with a Champions League spot for next season, and it comes as no surprise that the Old Lady have been the ‘draw specialists' so far this season.

It is also interesting to note that nine of Juventus's 13 stalemates have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net, so the goals market bodes well for this upcoming fixture away from home at Como especially as six out of the visitors' 11 outings on the road to date this term have also seen both teams score as well.

Como v Juventus Verdict

Como will be highly motivated in order to avoid being handed a third league defeat on the trot on Friday night and to also avoid being dragged down into the relegation zone, while Juventus know all three points at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Friday night would see the visitors move up into the top four.
