Juventus vs Como live stream preview: Watch Serie A opener online

Having won promotion and clinched a Serie A spot, Como begins its efforts to maintain their newfound status against Italian powerhouse Juventus on Monday evening at 7:45 p.m. (UK time).

Cesc Fàbregas has been promoted from his role as an assistant and will now lead Lariani’s comeback campaign. He has taken over from Osian Roberts, who has moved upstairs to become the head of development after securing promotion.

Last season, the Lombardy club won 21 league games, the most in Serie B, along with Parma and Venezia, both of whom were also promoted. However, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia last week and crashed out on penalties.

Although he achieved his goal of getting Juventus back into the Champions League, manager Max Allegri faced criticism for his overly cautious tactics. Despite winning the Coppa Italia, Allegri’s second stint at the club was cut short after a highly visible breakdown in the final.

The victory over Atalanta in the Coppa Italia provided a rare moment of joy in an otherwise dull season. Consequently, the club has appointed Thiago Motta as the new manager, hoping to bring an attacking style of play and more trophies to the successful Italian team.

Juventus vs Como team news

A club owned by the wealthiest individuals in Italian football aims to have a significant impact in the coming years. With a World Cup winner as their coach, they have found it easier to attract new players.

They recently made a high-profile signing in Raphaël Varane, but unfortunately, the former Real Madrid defender has been sidelined with a knee injury and will be out for at least three weeks.

In addition, Alessio Iovine was given a red card in the match against Sampdoria, so he will be serving a suspension, which might lead to Tommaso Cassandro joining the visitors’ back four. Pepe Reina is expected to be the starting goalkeeper.

Thiago Motta has been decisive in reshaping Juve’s squad. Federico Chiesa has been excluded from training with the first team, while Wojciech Szczęsny was let go, and Moise Kean has joined Fiorentina.

New signings Douglas Luiz and Michele Di Gregorio are expected to start in a revamped XI, alongside Khephren Thuram, who will join his brother, Inter’s Marcus Thuram, in Italy.

Over the last three Ligue 1 seasons, no Nice player has completed more dribbles, created chances, or attempted shots after carrying the ball.
