Juventus travel to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Sunday to face Como in their upcoming Serie A fixture.
The home side will look to make the most of their impressive record on familiar turf, while the visitors aim to snap a run of frustrating draws that has slowed their progress in the race for the Scudetto.
Juventus XI vs Como – Predicted lineup and team news
Juventus Team News
Gleison Bremer recently underwent surgery on October 14 to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, ruling him out until at least mid-to-late November.
His absence is a major setback for Juventus, with the Brazilian having been a key figure in their backline before the injury. Without him, Tudor is likely to turn to Daniele Rugani, who is expected to line up alongside Pierre Kalulu and Lloyd Kelly in the coach’s preferred 3-4-2-1 setup.
Juan Cabal remains sidelined with a thigh problem and is unlikely to return before the end of the month. Arkadiusz Milik’s fitness also remains uncertain, while Fabio Miretti continues his recovery from a hamstring strain.
In the attacking department, Jonathan David, who arrived from Lille in the summer, had ambitiously set himself a target of 25 goals in his debut season. So far, however, the Canadian forward has found the net only once in Serie A.
Dusan Vlahovic, meanwhile, has enjoyed a better start, scoring four times this term — all as a substitute. Tudor now faces a tough decision on who to start up front, with David, Vlahovic, and Lois Openda all competing for the central striking role, supported by Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao in the attacking midfield positions.
Juventus Predicted Lineup
Possible Juventus starting XI: Di Gregorio; Gatti, Rugani, Kelly; Kalulu, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 12pm BST on Sunday 19th October.
