Yildiz Challenges Nico Paz in Thrilling Showdown
The upcoming match between Como and Juventus will showcase two standout players, Nico Paz and Yildiz, each wearing the iconic number 10 jersey. Head coach Tudor described the Como team, managed by Fábregas, as a “false small team,” acknowledging their rising potential despite missing key players like Cesc Fábregas and Rodríguez due to sanctions, and with Addai and Diao recovering from injuries.
Juventus Faces Mounting Pressure
Juventus enters this match after drawing their last five games following a win against Inter on September 13. The team is eager to end this streak and prepare for their upcoming Champions League match against Real Madrid. Compounding their challenges, UEFA has launched an investigation regarding a potential breach of Financial Fair Play regulations for the 2022-2025 period.
Injury Updates
The team faces a defensive dilemma with injuries to Bremer and Cabal. This situation intensifies the urgency for Juventus to secure points, especially with away matches against Como, Real Madrid, and Lazio on the horizon.
Tactical Considerations
Expect some tactical adjustments from Juventus. Coach Tudor hinted at maintaining a 3-4-2-1 formation, which may shift to a 3-5-2 during the game. Vlahovic is likely to start, providing a sense of certainty to the lineup compared to Openda and David.
