Preview: Como vs Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Juventus are one of two teams still unbeaten in Serie A, but they must try to end a frustrating run of draws on Sunday, when visiting Como at Stadio Sinigaglia. Despite failing to win since a dramatic Derby d'Italia victory in mid-September, the Bianconeri are still within range of Italy's top four. Match preview Along with Atalanta BC, Juventus remain undefeated in Serie A this season, and their 11-match run without a league loss actually stretches all the way back to April. It is the third time in four years that Juve have reached this stage of a top-flight campaign without losing, but they are again being plagued by a series of draws. The Bianconeri have just posted five consecutive stalemates for the first time in nearly two decades, following a 0-0 draw with AC Milan before international football intervened. On that occasion, the Turin club dodged a bullet when Milan's Christian Pulisic missed from the spot, and they ultimately seemed content with a share of the spoils. Set to meet Real Madrid in the Champions League next week, Igor Tudor's team have also followed a frantic 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund with a 2-2 result in Villarreal, so they will now seek an overdue win. Unbeaten in their last 23 Serie A matches against Como - a run dating back to January 1952 - history suggests Juve can pick up maximum points this weekend. ............ Como Serie A form: W L D W D D Como form (all competitions): L D W W D D Juventus Serie A form: W W W D D D Juventus form (all competitions): W D D D D D Team News Costing Juventus a key cog in their three-man defence, Bremer's latest injury absence is set to continue until December, and they will also be missing Juan Cabal and Fabio Miretti this weekend. Only able to feature as a substitute against Milan, Khephren Thuram is now fully fit and should join captain Manuel Locatelli in central midfield. Tudor is expected to pick livewire pair Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz in support of a lone striker - Dusan Vlahovic and Jonathan David are leading Lois Openda in that race. ............ Como possible starting lineup: Butez; Posch, Carlos, Ramon, Valle; Perrone, Da Cunha; Vojvoda, Paz, Kuhn; Morata Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Gatti, Rugani, Kelly; Kalulu, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David We say: Como 1-1 Juventus Well drilled by their impressive young coach, Como are an increasingly solid side - and they possess plenty of options up front. So, Juventus may have to settle for yet another draw, as the hosts are particularly tough to beat at Stadio Sinigaglia. .

Juventus tells Liverpool to forget about signing their player in January Khephren Thuram was one of the players Liverpool wanted to add to their squad during previous transfer windows, and the Reds made a strong effort to bring him to Anfield. However, after an impressive end to last season, Juventus refused to sell him, and Thuram did not push for a move, as he is happy in Turin. ............ Under Tudor’s leadership, Thuram has become an essential part of Juventus’ setup. His tactical intelligence and consistency have made him one of the first names on the team sheet. The Bianconeri see him not just as an important player for the present but also as a cornerstone for the future. His ability to dictate play and maintain balance in midfield has made him indispensable to the club’s ambitions this season. Liverpool’s struggles have reignited talk of potential reinforcements in January, with the Merseyside club expected to pursue new signings to strengthen their squad. Thuram remains on their list of preferred targets, as his profile aligns closely with the type of midfielder Arne Slot’s side has been seeking. ............ Juventus have told Liverpool to forget about signing Thuram, making it clear that he is not for sale. The club considers him unsellable after his consistent performances and the vital role he has played in their resurgence. ............ .

Pavan suggests there is a witch hunt against Juventus after the latest UEFA news Massimo Pavan has responded to reports that Juventus is under investigation by UEFA for its finances over the last three years following the publication of the club’s accounts for the 2024/2025 season. The Bianconeri have spent recent years working to stabilise their operations and improve transparency after surviving multiple financial scandals. ............ Pavan has expressed frustration that Juventus appears to be subject to investigations more regularly than other clubs, particularly in the wake of the European Super League controversy. Pavan is critical of UEFA’s approach, arguing that Juventus has consistently monitored and managed its finances responsibly. He emphasises that the club has maintained transparency in its operations, particularly over the last year, and believes the repeated investigations are unwarranted. The Bianconeri’s commitment to financial accountability has included public reporting and adherence to governance standards, yet UEFA’s continued scrutiny has prompted concern among the club’s leadership. Pavan suggests that the level of monitoring Juventus faces is disproportionate compared with other clubs, creating a sense of unfair treatment in European football. ............ Pavan said: “I don’t understand UEFA’s report on the Financial Fair Play issue. Juventus has been monitoring this management and this situation for years. Furthermore, over the past year, everything has been handled very transparently and clearly. Sometimes it almost seems like persecution, especially considering that other clubs aren’t monitored with the same level of care.” ............ .

‘Juventus paid the price for failing to sell Vlahovic’ – former Serie A striker Former striker Nicola Ventola believes Juventus were forced into a corner during the summer transfer window after failing to sell Dusan Vlahovic. ............ “In my opinion, Juventus were the ones who really paid the price,” Ventola said. “By not selling Vlahovic, who was supposed to leave, they missed out on their real target – Kolo Muani. It left them scrambling in the final days of the market, signing good players, but not the ones they had truly wanted.” ............ “David and Openda have both scored a lot and provided assists, but playing for Juventus isn’t easy. Things didn’t go smoothly for the club in that sense.” ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/ventola-juventus-paid-the-price-vlahovic/

Chiellini’s new Juventus role as club’s voice in Italian football Giorgio Chiellini’s name was missing from Juventus’ list of candidates for the new board of directors, but far from being a demotion, it signals a shift toward a more hands-on, football-focused role within the club’s evolving structure. The former captain, who now serves as Director of Football Strategy, will move closer to the technical and institutional heart of the Bianconeri project rather than the bureaucratic boardroom. ............ Chiellini will also replace Francesco Calvo as Juventus’ representative within the FIGC, taking on the role of Federal Councillor – a position that strengthens the club’s influence within Italy’s football institutions. Working alongside Damien Comolli, technical director Francesco Modesto, and the soon-to-be-appointed sporting director, Chiellini will form part of the operational core shaping Juventus’ next phase. ............ For Chiellini, it’s the natural continuation of his transformation from captain to executive – still defending Juventus. ............ .
