On Sunday, October 19, at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como and Juventus face off in a Serie A Matchday 7 clash. The two sides currently sit eighth and fifth in the league table, separated by just three points. Cesc Fabregas’ side dreams of a prestigious victory to confirm their strong start to the season and keep their European hopes alive. After an impressive opening, highlighted by a win over Lazio in their debut match, the Larians have slightly slowed down due to a few injuries, collecting only two points in their last two league games. On the other hand, Igor Tudor’s Juventus remain unbeaten in Serie A but haven’t won a game since September 13, when they defeated Inter 4–3 in a spectacular encounter. Since then, they’ve only managed draws across Serie A and the Champions League. Winning away at Como would be an important opportunity for the Bianconeri to close the gap to the top and regain confidence ahead of their crucial European trip to face Real Madrid — a match that could define their European future. However, the home-field advantage and possible distractions could favor Como, who may well capitalize and try to catch Juventus in the standings.

Como's Form and Key Stats

Como come into this match on a five-game unbeaten streak, with 2 wins and 3 draws, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per game. In their most recent Serie A match, on October 4, the Larians drew 1–1 with Atalanta, following another 1–1 draw against Cremonese.

Living up to their preseason expectations, Como are just outside the European qualification zone, having collected 9 points so far from 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss. Their attack hasn’t been particularly prolific, averaging only 1.17 goals per match, but their defense has proven solid, conceding an average of 0.83 goals per game.

At home, Fabregas’ men are still unbeaten this season, with 3 wins and 2 draws across Serie A and the Coppa Italia. In league play, after a 2–0 victory over Lazio in their opener, they’ve recorded two straight 1–1 draws — against Genoa and Cremonese.

Juventus' Form and Key Stats

Recently, Juventus have struggled to find a win — or even a loss — as they are coming off five consecutive draws across Serie A and the Champions League, averaging 1.6 goals scored and conceded per match. Their most recent stalemate came before the international break: a 0–0 home draw with AC Milan.

After six Serie A rounds, the Old Lady remain unbeaten, with 12 points from 3 wins and 3 draws, averaging 1.5 goals scored and 0.83 conceded per game. These numbers portray a side that isn’t particularly sharp in attack and not entirely secure in defense either. Adding to their worries, key defender Bremer is sidelined with an injury.

Away from home, Tudor’s team are also unbeaten across all competitions, recording a 0–1 victory at Genoa and two draws — one in Serie A against Verona and another in the Champions League against Villarreal.

Como vs Juventus Prediction by BetMines

The match between Como and Juventus, scheduled for Sunday, October 19 at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, promises to be one of the most balanced fixtures of Serie A Matchday 7.

According to the algorithm’s probabilities, Como have a 40% chance of winning, while both the draw and Juventus victory stand at 30%. Given these odds, the best option appears to be the Double Chance 1X, predicting that Como could either win or draw this match.

Fabregas’ men will try to make the most of their home advantage and capitalize on Juventus’ recent struggles to grab all three points — or at least remain unbeaten. However, Como are dealing with issues on the flanks, as coach Fabregas will be without suspended Rodriguez and injured wingers Addai and Kuhn.

Juventus, for their part, need a win to move past their run of draws. Yet the absence of Bremer could hurt them defensively, while up front, the likes of David and Openda have underperformed so far, and Vlahovic — after a bright start — seems to be going through a slump.

Given Como’s offensive absences and Juventus’ scoring difficulties, BetMines tips the Under 2.5 goals and “Both Teams to Score – No” markets, estimated at 61% and 54% probability respectively.
