Juventus W vs Roma W - Serie A Women

All eyes turn to the home ground on April 25, 2026 as Juventus W welcome Roma W in a Serie A Women encounter that promises tension, intrigue and no shortage of subplot. O'Neill made five changes for Celtic's midweek win at St Johnstone as he rested some key players ahead of Sunday's clash.

Both Juventus W and Roma W will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Serie A Women. The hosts will hope that the the home ground crowd can inspire a performance, whatever the numbers suggest. Roma W will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. But the Reds are still unsure about Bologna's asking price for the defender, who turned 28 in June and has less than 12 months to run on his contract at the Serie A side.

Pressing intensity will define the contest. Juventus W will seek to win the ball high up the pitch and suffocate Roma W's build-up, while the visitors will aim to play through the pressure and exploit the spaces it leaves behind. They were slightly found out against Amorim's Milan in pre-season, with the press not quite sharp enough - the fourth goal, in particular, came from just one ball over a high-lined defence.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. Club in “advanced talks” with Manchester City over midfielder transfer.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 1-1. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Serie A Women standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. A more central role appears likely given the sale of Youri Tielemans to Manchester United and the anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered by Amadou Onana at the World Cup.
