Preview: Juventus Women vs Roma | Serie A Women's Cup Final

The Juventus Women's First Team are already aiming for silverware this season, with the first-ever Serie A Women's Cup final seeing them face familiar opposition in Roma on Saturday. The two have met in countless finals in recent seasons, the most recent of which saw the Bianconere win the Italian Cup in May, beating the Giallorosse 4-0 in Como.

Let’s take a look at some of the stats around the match.

INTERESTING FACTS

• Juventus and Roma will meet for the 28th time across all competitions and for the sixth in a final (after three Italian Cup finals and two Italian Super Cup finals). The Bianconere have lost just one of those finals, which came in the Super Cup in November 2022.
• The Bianconere have won 19 of the 27 games they’ve played against Roma so far, and have only managed more wins against Fiorentina (20) since their founding. The Giallorosse are also the side against whom Juventus have scored the most goals - 60.
• Saturday’s game will be Juventus 11th final across all competitions, losing only two of those (the Super Cup in 2018 against Fiorentina, and that same competition against Roma in 2022).
• No player has scored more goals against Roma than Cristiana Girelli, netting 14 times against the Giallorosse with Juventus. The No.10 has also scored 31% of Juventus’ goals in finals (five of 16).
• Barbara Bonansea has scored seven goals against Roma in all competitions, behind only Girelli’s 14.
