Juventus will hope to turn a new leaf under Thiago Motta as they start their 2024–25 Serie A campaign against the newly promoted Como. This interesting Serie A match will be played at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Monday, with goals likely to come at a premium.

The Old Lady finished last season third in the league and won the Coppa Italia competition, but had a turbulent campaign nonetheless. Massimiliano Allegri was sacked following his alleged poor behavior in the Coppa Italia final and was replaced by Thiago Motta in the summer. Motta now looks to improve their fortunes and lead the home team's push towards Scudetto honors.

Starting at home gives Juve a great chance to begin the new campaign on a high, as they lost only once in 19 home matches last season. That said, seven draws in that sequence meant they could win only 11 matches. That run included four draws from their last six league matches to finish the previous campaign. Como will hope to take advantage of any hiccup as they begin their first Serie A season after 21 years away.

The visitors ended second in Serie B last season and have an ambitious project in the making. Cesc Fàbregas has been named the manager, and the likes of Raphaël Varane have been added to the squad, although the former Manchester United defender has been injured 23 minutes into his club debut. That was in a defeat to Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia, which came via penalties after they had two wins and a draw from four pre-season friendly matches.
