- Date: Saturday, 21st February, 2026
- Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
- Venue: Allianz Stadium (Turin)
On Saturday afternoon, two Serie A sides chasing European qualification - and potentially a Champions League spot - will meet in Round 26 as Juventus host Como. Juventus are coming into the match after a 5:2 loss in the Champions League to Galatasaray, continuing their dreadful run of form in February. On the other hand, Como drew their last game against AC Milan 1:1 and are in solid form, having secured the Coppa Italia Semi-Finals earlier this month.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this Serie A tie.

In the first h2h game this season, Como won 2:0 at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. In total, these teams met five times, and that win was Como's only one in their duels. On the other hand, Juventus won on three occasions.
Regarding the number of goals, three of the five h2h games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in the same number of games (three).
Juventus team overview
Juventus had some ups and downs this season, but after the arrival of coach Luciano Spalletti, things started to look very good. Unfortunately, they totally crumbled in February, getting eliminated from the Coppa Italia, then followed that with a couple of poor results in Serie A, and topped it off with a massive 5:2 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League. To be fair, they had a really challenging schedule during that stretch, but a game against Como will not be any easier.
In Serie A, the Old Lady are sitting in 5th place with 46 points. Yes, the Champions League spots are only one point away, and securing that top-four finish has to be their number one priority this year.
Bremer suffered an injury in the previous game against Galatasaray and will most likely miss the game. Jonathan David, Emil Holm, Arkadiusz Milik, and Dusan Vlahovic, who missed the previous game(s) with injuries, should remain sidelined. Moreover, Pierre Kalulu will also miss the match due to a one-game suspension.

Como team overview
Como are playing another great season. Last season, I Biancoblù finished 10th and are looking like a team deserving to secure Europe next season. After 25 rounds, Como are in 6th place, only four points behind the Italian giant and their next opponent, Juventus.
Besides their good campaign in the Serie A, Como also secured the Coppa Italia Semi-Finals earlier this month, eliminating the last season's champions, Napoli. So, an overall great season for I Biancoblù, but they will have to keep going and try to grab that fourth place and a Champions League appearance next season. A win over the Old Lady would greatly improve their chances of that happening.
However, Como will be without (possibly) their best player, Nico Paz, who will serve his one-game suspension. The talented 21-year-old has been amazing this season, scoring nine goals and assisting on six in 25 Serie A games. Besides Paz, Edoardo Goldaniga and Assane Diao will remain sidelined with their injuries.

Prediction
Juventus have had problems defensively this season and they are only getting bigger as the season progresses. In the last four games, they allowed a total of 13 goals - an incredible 3.25 goals per game. So, keeping a clean sheet seems pretty unlikely, especially with a few key defenders out. On the other hand, the Old Lady did well offensively and were particularly great in that department at home, where they scored at least one goal in 15 out of 17 games - 88%.
Como were excellent for this type of bet lately, regardless of the results, as we saw both teams scoring in their last three games against Napoli, Fiorentina, and AC Milan. Also, for some reason, Como were even better on the road lately, scoring 14 goals in the past six matches - 2.33 per game.
Considering all the above, we believe that both teams to score bet is the safest option for this Serie A tie.
3 Reasons why both teams should score
- Juventus allowed two or more goals in the past four matches
- Juventus scored at least one goal in 15 of 17 home matches
- Both teams scored in Como's last three games
