Our prediction for the match Juventus vs Como
“The Old Lady” left extremely contradictory impressions last season. On the one hand, the team rose to 3rd place and also won the Italian Cup. On the other hand, the club noticeably slowed down in the second lap, and, as a result, the scandalous mentor, Allegri, had been fired before the summer. As for “Those from lake Como”, the team finally managed to “shoot”: it took 2nd place in the Serie B and rose, for the first time in a couple of decades, to the elite division of the country.
Thiago Motta, who raised Bologna to the Champions League, is now coaching in Turin. He has enough newcomers at his disposal: Douglas Luiz, Khephren Thuram, Di Gregorio, and Cabal. And the losses, in fact, come down to the desire to get rid of Chiesa (and a number of other stars, from Szczęsny to Kostic), having made a good profit on Soule, who blossomed in Frosinone. Well, Como mostly signed the contracts with the so-called “workhorses”, like Engelhard, Audero and Strefezza, but the club also took in written-off stars, Varane and Alberto Moreno, inviting Arnautović and Sergi Roberto.
The newcomer to the Serie A managed to play in the cup. It equalized the game after conceding in regular on the field of Sampdoria, but lost on penalties.
