The pressure on the home team is high and Como can no longer afford any further setbacks in the relegation battle. Three defeats from the last four league games mean that Como is still in the middle of the battle to avoid relegation. Cesc Fàbregas's team is just two points above the relegation zone after losing 0-2 to Bologna. Como has big problems especially away from home, with seven defeats on away grounds already approaching the league's negative record. So, for the team is good that they are now returning to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Como have scored in six consecutive home games and have even won three of their last five matches including impressive victories against Roma and Udinese. Juventus, on the other hand was able to recover on the last matchday after two consecutive defeats. The Old Lady scored four times after the break alone. Now the aim is to win two league games in a row for the first time since the beginning of November and thus at least temporarily move into the top four. In fact, the transfer of Kolo Muani seems to have sparked a kind of spirit of optimism in Thiago Motta's team but still nothing is perfect in the guests squad.
