Roma Women will be looking for their first ever home Serie A win when they take on Tavagnacco on Wednesday afternoon.
After finally recording their first league win against Florentia on Saturday, Roma now have something to build on, as they look to make up for lost time in their debut Serie A campaign. Roma lie 10th in the table having lost their first three games, but with a win now secured, it's time for them to put a string of positive results together. This game was meant to be Roma's first home game of the season, but was postponed, so it's a game in hand that Roma must make use of. Tavagnacco have won two and lost two of their four games this season, and Roma can overtake them with a win. However, Tavagnacco are a strong side - they came fourth in Serie A last season, and finished as runners up as recently as 2012-13. They may have no standing in men's football, but they are a dangerous opponent in the women's game. The goals in Saturday's win came from Claudia Ciccotti and Agnese Bonfantini, which were Roma's first goals for over a month. Each of the side's four goals this season have been scored by different players, reflective of the way the men's team have been sharing the goals around as well. Forwards Luisa Pugnali and Martina Piemonte - who has returned home from hospital after suffering a head injury - are yet to score in seven games between them, so there is the potential for even more players to get among the goals in future. Three Roma players have been called up for Italy's friendly against Germany next month, which will be a big morale booster for them. Goalkeeper Rosalia Pipitone and defender Elisa Bartoli have both been everpresent for Roma this season, while striker Annamaria Serturini, the scorer of Roma's first ever goal in Serie A Femminile, has been called up for the first time. Any of these players could have an impact today, as Roma look to record back-to-back wins. The game kicks off at 2pm UK time.
