Como vs Juventus Prediction for today 19 October 2025 - Football

📢 What emotions will one of the most intriguing matches of Serie A's 7th round between Como and Juventus bring? At the "Giuseppe Sinigaglia," teams from entirely different weight classes will clash, yet both have a knack for making life difficult for their opponents. Como hold their ground confidently in mid-table, rarely losing and showcasing organized football, while Juventus are once again plagued by their usual "ailment"—an excessive number of draws. For the hosts, this is a chance to make a bold statement, and for the Turin side, an opportunity to finally break their prolonged winless streak.

Head-to-Head

📊 The head-to-head history between Como and Juventus features just two encounters over the past twenty years. Both matches took place last season and ended in favor of the Turin giants. First, the "Old Lady" secured a commanding 3-0 victory at home, followed by a 2-1 win on the road. Como struggled to mount a serious challenge against their more experienced opponents.

Como 1907 Team Overview

🔵 Como have started the season on a solid note. They've suffered just one defeat, which came in an away match against Bologna (0-1) at the end of August. In their other fixtures, they consistently collected points. However, the "Larians" often settled for draws even in matches where they had a shot at victory, as seen in their home games against Genoa (1-1) and Cremonese (1-1). Nevertheless, securing nine points after six rounds is a commendable achievement, keeping them in eighth place on the table.

⚪ Before the October break, Como once again shared the spoils, this time in an away match against Atalanta (1-1). It was a fiercely contested encounter, with both sides registering a similar number of shots and posting relatively close xG figures (1.74 to 0.96). All the action unfolded in the first 20 minutes, after which the game leveled out into a tactical battle. Como once again demonstrated their ability to compete against strong opponents, though consistency remains an issue.

Juventus Turin Team Overview

⚪ Juventus have been grappling with a chronic tendency to draw matches for several seasons now. Last season, they ended 16 matches in a stalemate—more than any other Serie A club. It seemed that in the new season, the "Old Lady" had finally shaken off this issue, starting with three consecutive wins. However, the problem resurfaced: a streak of five consecutive draws has pushed the Turin side down to fifth place in the standings, once again raising questions about the team's consistency and character.

⚫ On October 5th, Juventus hosted an in-form AC Milan. Many anticipated that the visitors would be closer to victory. However, the match was evenly contested: both teams registered a similar number of shots (12-13, with 3-4 on target), and the difference in xG (0.66 versus 1.76) was mainly due to a penalty awarded to the "Rossoneri". A 0-0 draw was a fitting conclusion to the encounter.

Latest news

Como 1907

📣 Como's head coach, Cesc Fabregas, was absent from the official press conference following their 1-1 draw with Atalanta due to a suspension. Stepping in for him was the sporting director, Carlalberto Ludi, who stated: "Fabregas is serving a ban, and it's been a tense week — we wanted to show that we are united as a club, which is why I'm here to answer questions." He also emphasized: "Everyone at the club is aligned. We quickly move on — we don't dwell on victories, defeats, or outside noise. Como play aggressively but without roughness, and we take pride in this style, even if it's not typically Italian. Matches against Atalanta are always motivating — an excellent test for our young players."

🚫 Como face several significant absences that could impact their performance. Jesus Rodriguez continues to serve his suspension following a red card two rounds ago, while defender Alberto Dossena is recovering from a cruciate ligament tear and is expected back by early November. Additionally, the participation of Assan Diao and Ignace Van der Brempt is in doubt due to minor muscle injuries. Jayden Addai and Sergi Roberto are also undergoing recovery from muscle injuries, with their return anticipated in late October to early November.

Juventus Turin

📣 Juventus head coach Igor Tudor, following the goalless draw against AC Milan (0-0), explained that the match unfolded exactly as he had anticipated: "The game was just as we expected – tough... A draw is fair." The coach also discussed the reasons behind the tactical adjustments during the game: "Yildiz, Conceicao, and David were fatigued, so we made three substitutions and switched to a 3-5-2 formation to finish the match with two forwards." According to him, the team only lacks finishing: "If we had scored two more goals, we would have had two wins. We just need to keep working."

🚫 Juventus are also dealing with some setbacks. Arkadiusz Milik will miss the match due to a calf injury, and backup goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio is sidelined until mid-November with a leg issue. Fabio Miretti's participation is doubtful as he recovers from a thigh injury, while Gleison Bremer underwent meniscus surgery and will return only by early January 2026. Juan Cabal is experiencing minor thigh problems and is expected to recover by the end of October.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Como have made significant strides over the past year, evolving into a team with a distinctly attacking style. They play aggressively up front, creating numerous chances and consistently converting them—"the Larians" have found the net in 21 of their last 23 matches. Meanwhile, Juventus no longer appear as solid in defense; the Turin side have conceded at least once in five of their last six games, with the only exception being a goalless draw against Milan. Therefore, our bet is on a goal for Como.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Juventus have no issues when it comes to earning corners. The team consistently pressures their opponents and actively utilizes crosses as a key weapon in their attack. As a result, they frequently approach the corner flag, having delivered at least four corners in seven of their last eight Serie A matches. With an average of 6.3 corners per game, Juventus rank third in the league, trailing only Napoli and Inter. Therefore, our pick is Juventus over 3.5 corners.
