Italian League: Como Deepens Juventus' Woes (Video)

Como defeated Juventus 2-0, worsening Juventus' recent struggles in Serie A.

In a disappointing match for Juventus, Como secured a 2-0 victory on Saturday at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, marking Juventus' second consecutive loss and deepening their difficulties in the Italian Serie A. The match saw Como's Kosovarian defender Merjim Vojvoda score the opening goal in the 11th minute, assisted by Greek forward Anastasios Douvikas. Following this early lead, French midfielder Maxence Caqueret added another goal at the beginning of the second half, cementing Como's advantage with another assist from his compatriot Lucas Da Cunha.

This defeat was particularly troubling for Juventus, who have now gone without a win in three of their last matches, with a total of four losses across various competitions. Their recent poor performance includes a 0-3 setback against Atalanta in the quarter-finals of the domestic cup and a heavy 2-5 defeat to Turkish team Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League qualification match. With their current position in the standings, Juventus sits fifth with 46 points, only one point ahead of Como, and they are now faced with the challenging task of reversing their fortunes in their upcoming match against Galatasaray at home in the second leg of the qualification playoff.

The series of losses raises questions about the future performance of Juventus this season, especially as they aim to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League. Fans and analysts will be closely monitoring how the team addresses their current slump as they prepare for their crucial match with high stakes attached, reflecting the need for an immediate turnaround in form.
