The big match that opens Serie A Matchday 17 is Juventus Women's visit to Fiorentina today, Saturday 11 February at 12:30 CET.
The three points up for grabs are of great importance in light of the league standings. The two sides are tied in second place with two games remaining from the end of the first phase of the new format.
FOND MEMORIES | Juventus are the team that has beaten Fiorentina most often in Serie A with eight defeats for the Viola in 10 matches, at least two more than those suffered against any other opponent in the top competition, including all of the last three played in Florence.
NETTING NUMBERS | The number of scorers for Juve rose to 14 this Serie A campaign, a record in the tournament, following Linda Sembrant's goal in the last matchday. Fiorentina, meanwhile, boast most midfielders on the scoresheet with seven after Annahita Zamanian struck for her new side last weekend.
MILESTONE MAKER | Cristiana Girelli is one goal away from becoming the first Bianconere player to reach the milestone of 100 goals in all competitions. The number 10's tally so far is divided between 69 goals in Serie A, 13 in Coppa Italia, three in the Supercoppa and 14 in the Champions League (qualifying included).
FLORENTINE FORM | Fiorentina have collected just one victory from their last four home games in Serie A after winning each of their previous five. However, success in the most recent game against Pomigliano has contributed to the Viola's three-match winning run in the league.
DOUBLING DOWN | Juventus have lost two games in Serie A this season, just one defeat less than they had suffered in the four previous top-flight campaigns overall.
