Roma Women return from the international break with the opportunity to extend their three-game unbeaten run.
Roma host Chievo Verona, looking to build on wins over Florentia and Orobica, as well as a draw with Tavagnacco. After an indifferent start to life at Stadio Tre Fontane, Roma finally picked up their first home win two weeks ago, when they beat Orobica by a comfortable 3-0 scoreline. Today’s opponents, Chievo, are also unbeaten in three, but they have lost two of their three away games this season. Most recently, they drew 1-1 with Sassuolo, a result which saw them slip to 9th place in Serie A - one place lower than Roma. Roma can continue their ascent away from the relegation spots with a victory, potentially rising into the top half for the first time this season if other results go their way. Coach Betty Bavagnoli told Roma TV ahead of the game: "It's been a good period, with three good results. We need to keep building on that and continue to find consistency. "We know we are on a journey, that this is a big project we are building. We have worked hard during the international break." Forwards Agnese Bonfantini and Annamaria Serturini will be hoping to get on the scoresheet today - they have each netted twice this season, with only captain Elisa Bartoli also scoring more than once. However, the attackers will have competition for places, with Martina Piemonte cleared to return after a head injury. The game kicks off at 1:30pm and fans can watch it on the AS Roma Women Twitter page.
