The Serie A match between Juventus and Como kickstarts Friday evening as the Old Lady pursues back-to-back league victories for the first time in November.
The Juve team faces Stadio Sinigaglia to play Empoli after recovering from a challenging game that ended in victory but their visitors experienced two consecutive losses.
Juventus started their match against Empoli by losing the first 15 minutes because they had already been defeated by Napoli and Benfica during their recent games.
Defender Mattia De Sciglio formerly of Juve handed Como their first goal of the match before Empoli goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio committed a penalty. The goalkeeper found salvation through VAR review which showed a past handball infringement before Juventus started their comeback.
The new Juve signing Randal Kolo Muani combined his substantial piece of luck with two goals and two additional header strikes put Empoli behind by four goals into their final minutes of the game as they played with ten men.
The Bianconeri need to win this Friday to end their streak of unsuccessful league wins while moving up to fourth position above Lazio.
Thiago Motta's side has played out an extraordinary number of draws in this season which left them with only nine top-flight victories leaving their minimal goal of Champions League berth uncertain.
Juve seeks three points in their match at Stadio Sinigaglia because they want to extend their 22-match Serie A unbeaten record against Como.
Year after year since 1952 Como players have drawn every home match against Juventus without managing a victory while waiting for their first Serie A triumph against the Bianconeri.
After losing to Juventus 3-0 in Turin at the beginning of the Lariani's return to the top division in August, they have gradually started to get back on track.
Despite collecting nothing from their last two games, Cesc Fabregas and company are still two points above the bottom three after some better play at the beginning of the year lifted them out of the relegation zone.
Como made a lot of in-and-out transfers during the winter transfer window and brought in a number of new players to help them in their fight to stay in Serie A, but their investment hasn't paid off yet.
The Lombardy team has now lost all eight of their away games after losing to Atalanta BC in their last February match and then losing in Bologna last weekend.
However, Como has only lost four games at home since being promoted from Serie B, so they will want to cause Juve to lose only their second league game of the year.
