Get ready for the encounter with our pre-match preview below:
Head-to-head
- Como and Juventus will face off at the Sinigaglia Stadium in Serie A for the first time since 22 February 2003, when the Bianconeri earned a 3-1 win with goals from Camoranesi, Di Vaio and a Juarez own goal.
- The next match will be the 28th between Como and Juventus in Serie A: Juve lead with 14 wins to three for Como, with 10 encounters ending in a draw.
- Juve are unbeaten in their last 22 matches against Como in Serie A (13V, 9D): the last time Como beat the Bianconeri in the top-flight was on 20 January 1952.
- Como lost the first leg against Juventus 3-0, and could go two games in a row without scoring against the Bianconeri in Serie A for the first time since the period between October 1988 and February 1989. They have not scored in 14 of the 27 meetings against Juventus - against no other team do they count more games without a goal scored in Serie A.
Interesting Facts
- Only Lazio (five) have scored more goals than Juventus (four, like Napoli and Parma) after the 90th minute, while Como is the team that has conceded the most goals in added time this season (seven).
- For the first time in their history, Como will play a home Serie A match on a Friday: in their three previous Serie A matches played on a Friday – all away from home – they suffered two defeats (vs Napoli and Torino) and one draw (vs Lazio).
- The next match will be Juventus' 3100th in Serie A history: only Inter (3136) have more in the top-flight; the Bianconeri (5396) are also four goals away from 5400 in the competition.
- Como are the team who have scored the fewest goals from crosses this season: just one - Patrick Cutrone's goal from Gabriel Strefezza's cross against Lazio on 10 January.
Player Numbers
- Randal Kolo Muani (three goals in two Serie A matches) could become the first Juventus player to score in each of his first three Serie A appearances in the three-points-per-win era (since 1994/95). The last player to score at least four goals in his first three Serie A matches was Krzysztof Piatek with Genoa in 2018 - no one has ever scored five goals in their first three matches in the tournament since 1994/95.
- Dusan Vlahovic is closing in on a double milestone: his next goal will be his 50th goal contribution in a Juventus shirt in Serie A (currently at 49 - 41G+8A), while he is just two away from his 100th goal contribution overall in the top-flight (98 - 85G+13A).
- After a goal against AC Milan and an assist against Empoli, Timothy Weah could be involved in at least one goal in three appearances in a row for the first time.
- Considering the last two seasons in Europe's top five leagues, only Lamine Yamal (seven) is younger than Kenan Yildiz among players who have scored at least five away goals in these leagues over this period (five).
- Francisco Conceicao has already provided three assists in 15 appearances this Serie A campaign and only once in his career has he served more in a single season – four with Porto in 27 matches in 2023/24. The Portuguese forward could score in two matches in a row for only the second time in his career, after having done so between November-December 2023 with Porto.
Opposition Focus
- Nico Paz has scored in the last four games at the Sinigaglia in the league, only two midfielders have scored in more home appearances in a row in Serie A in the three-points-per-win era: Stefano Mauri (six between April and December 2014) and Eugenio Corini (five between September and November 2006).
- Patrick Cutrone has scored four home goals in 11 appearances this season - only in 2019/20 (five in 16 matches between Wolverhampton and Fiorentina) and 2017/18 (six in 16 matches with AC Milan) had the striker done better in front of his home fans in the top five European leagues.
- Assane Diao has already scored two goals in home matches in this Serie A, the same number of home goals he had scored in the two previous seasons with Real Betis in the Spanish top-flight.
- The first of Alberto Dossena's two total Serie A goals came against Juventus, away from home in a Cagliari shirt on 11 November 2023.
- New signing Tasos Douvikas scored 10 goals and provided two assists over the last two seasons with Celta Vigo in La Liga.
