The sixth matchday of this Serie A season throws up a game of huge importance as Juventus Women welcome Roma to Biella. It is the first time the two sides will do battle this season, and both come into the game locked on 15 points, each having won five games from five to start the campaign.
There's no doubting the importance of the game, with these two sides having shared every piece of domestic silverware on offer in the last couple of seasons.
"The Fiorentina game was a good spectacle, not only for that match but for Italian women's football," Bianconere boss Joe Montemurro said ahead of Roma's visit. "I hope the Roma game will be similar, but I have no doubt that it will be a good game because we will face the reigning Italian champions and a very good team, one of the strongest in Europe.
"That said, we'll have to focus on ourselves and nothing else. We know that, and we're aware of the strengths of our opponents."
For the visit of Roma, the Pozzo-La Marmora Stadium in Biella has sold out for the third time - now doing so for each of Juventus' games since moving there in the summer.
"The girls work hard during the week in order to be ready when the weekend comes," Montemurro said. "Knowing that Biella is again sold out is reward for the hard work done in training, and having our fans by our side makes us proud.
"We want to put on a show for them, we want to make them smile because they are brilliant - they follow us all over Italy and we really feel their closeness to the team, their support is very important for us.
Kick-off as Juventus host Roma is at 12:30 CET on Sunday, November 5. You can watch the game live on DAZN or, in Italy, on Rai Sport and Rai Play.
