Preview: Como vs Juventus Women

The Juventus Women’s First Team return to league action in the late Sunday afternoon kick-off, taking on Como Women in Seregno at 18:00.

Having drawn at home to Sassuolo last time out before falling in midweek away at Arsenal, the Bianconere will be hungry to bounce back and return to winning ways. They are top of the Serie A table with a four-point cushion over second-placed Fiorentina at the beginning of the weekend.

Como, meanwhile, come into the weekend in fifth.
