Serie A: Como vs. Juventus – Probable line-ups and where to watch | OneFootball

Thiago Motta is expected to stick with the same Juventus starting XI as the 4-1 win over Empoli last time out when the Bianconeri take on Cesc Fabregas’s Como at the Stadio Sinigaglia on Friday night.

The Bianconeri open the 24th round of Serie A fixtures in the Friday night kick-off slot (19.45 GMT), which provides Motta and his team with an opportunity to lift themselves back into the Serie A top four.

Pre-match reports suggest that Juve could go with the same starting line-up as they did last time out in Serie A, which means another start at full-back for forward Timothy Weah, while the versatile Weston McKennie could start in the advanced midfield role again.
