Juventus, one of Serie A's powerhouses, begins a new season under the guidance of Thiago Motta, hosting newly promoted Como.

Despite briefly challenging for the Scudetto, Juventus struggled in the second half of last season, finishing a distant third, 23 points behind champions Inter Milan. While manager Max Allegri achieved his goal of returning the team to the Champions League, his pragmatic tactics and a notable outburst in the Coppa Italia final—despite winning it—led to his swift departure.

Juventus’ solitary highlight was lifting the Coppa Italia, and now Thiago Motta has been appointed to bring a more dynamic style of play and further trophies to the club. Motta’s previous success with Bologna, particularly their strong defensive record at home, has raised expectations.

Como returns to Serie A after a 21-year absence and are led by former assistant coach Cesc Fabregas, who took over from Osian Roberts. Under new ownership, Como has ambitious plans and recently signed Raphael Varane as their marquee addition. Their pre-season included victories over Cagliari and Las Palmas, a loss to Al-Hilal, and a draw with Wolfsburg. However, Como’s competitive start to the season was less successful, with a 1-1 draw against Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia followed by an exit on penalties.
