Como are back in Serie A for the first time in 21 years and face a huge challenge in the season opener when they travel to face Juventus on Monday. Having secured promotion with a second-place finish in Serie B last season, accumulating 73 points, the club are braced for a tough test against one of the giants of Italian football.
Juventus, who finished third in Serie A last season, take to the field under new coach Thiago Motta. The 41-year-old was appointed following the sacking of Massimiliano Allegri in May. The clash promises to be a tight affair, with Juventus the favourites while Como look to spring a surprise on their return to the Italian top flight.
The game will take place at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, with kick-off at 3:45pm (Brasília time). The latest odds have Juventus as the favorites at -340 ($340 risk to win $100) on the 90-minute moneyline, while Como is seen as the underdogs at +850. A draw is priced at +410, and the over/under for total goals is 2.5.
