Juventus vs Como 1907: Preview, kick-off time and where to watch on TV and online – Serie A 2024/25
Como 1907 will play in Serie A for the first time in 21 years on Monday night as they face Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Matchday 1, with the Bianconeri under new leadership following Thiago Motta's appointment this summer.
This summer, the Lariani have recruited interestingly, looking to add experienced heads across the pitch with the aim of staying up this season. The likes of Raphael Varane, Andrea Belotti, Pepe Reina and Alberto Moreno have all joined which appears to be a short-term strategy. With Cesc Fabregas becoming the club's head coach in July at 37 years old, though, they are looking to build for the future in some respects.
They do not have an easy start to life back in the top flight, as they travel to Turin to face the Old Lady. Under Thiago Motta, the Bianconeri are looking to close the gap to AC Milan and Inter whilst playing more interesting football than they did under Massimiliano Allegri.
Juventus vs Como 1907: Predicted line-ups
Motta is expected to have a thinner squad available to him than he'd like, with Juventus still hoping to complete a few signings before the closing of the transfer window - namely Teun Koopmeiners.
However, the former Bologna manager is set to offer Michele Di Gregorio, Douglas Luiz and Khephren Thuram their Serie A debuts for the club, but Federico Chiesa, Weston McKennie and Arthur Melo will all be absent after Motta stated that they had no future at the club.
Como 1907's summer revolution will show on their Serie A return, and there could be eight new faces starting on Monday. Raphael Varane will miss the fixture through injury, but Andrea Belotti, Pepe Reina and Alberto Moreno are all in line to start.
Juventus predicted XI vs Como (4-1-4-1): Di Gregorio; Danilo, Bremer, Gatti, Cambiaso; Thuram; Weah, Locatelli, Luiz, Yildiz; Vlahovic.
Como predicted XI vs Juventus (4-4-2): Reina; Cassandro, Goldaniga, Dossena, Moreno; Strefezza, Braunoder, Mazzitelli, Da Cunha; Cutrone, Belotti.
