Nico Paz and Kenan Yildiz duel for Como vs. Juventus present and future

The match between Como and Juventus will not just be a test of ambition, but also an intriguing duel between young talents Nico Paz and Kenan Yildiz.

It kicks off at the Stadio Sinigaglia on Sunday at 11.30 UK time (10.30 GMT).

There are three points separating these sides going into the weekend, as despite their respective histories, Como are ready to punch above their weight.

Looking deeper, we have the opportunity to enjoy a battle of the two most talented young players in Serie A.

Kenan Yildiz and Nico Paz the brightest of talents

Nico Paz is a product of the Real Madrid youth academy and his future is already written with a return to base, with Como having helped him to flourish with regular playing time.

As for Kenan Yildiz, the Number 10 jersey handed to him by Juventus is worth far more than any contract or improved salary.

They do have different tactical characteristics too, as Paz tends to cut inside more, but is a trequartista with vision and creativity.

Yildiz likes to run at opposition players, can use both feet to make himself unpredictable in dribbling and finishing.

In a press conference, Juventus coach Igor Tudor said that Yildiz has the freedom to find his position behind the striker rather than stay out wide, but the constant squad rotation has not given them the kind of stability to create a rapport in attack.

So far this season, we are yet to really see Yildiz put to work with two real centre-forwards, a formula that may well be able to improve their weak attacking output.
