Preview: Juventus Women vs Lazio

The Juventus Women's First Team are back in competitive action this weekend after a week off as Matchday 2 of the inaugural Serie A Women's Cup is upon us.

The Bianconere host Lazio on Sunday, 7 September, in a 15:00 CEST kick-off in Biella.

Let’s take a look at some of the stats around this season's first home game.

INTERESTING FACTS

• Juventus Women have won five of the six games played against Lazio across all competitions, losing only the most recent.
• The Bianconere have scored at least two goal in each of the six games they’ve played against the Roman club.
• Barbara Bonansea is one of only two players to have scored for the Bianconere against Lazio in two different competitions (along with ex-Bianconera Sofia Cantore) - netting against them in Serie A and the Italian Cup. Only against Roma and Fiorentina has she scored against the same opposition in more competitions (Serie A, the Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup).
• Lazio could become the second side, after Como Women, against whom Eva Schatzer has scored more than one goal. Her first Juventus goal came away to the Biancocelesti on 21 September, 2024.
