The Juventus Women's First Team are gearing up for a pivotal Serie A Women clash this Sunday, 10 May, as they take on Inter in Biella. With kick-off set for 15:00 CEST, the Bianconere currently sit third in the standings with 35 points, while Inter hold second place with an unassailable lead. This match isn't just about pride—it's a chance for Juventus to lock in their spot in next season's Champions League.
A win against Inter would secure third place for Juventus, as would a draw, provided Fiorentina, Lazio, and Napoli don't all win. The stakes are high, and the team will be looking to capitalize on their strengths. Both Juventus and Inter excel in aerial play, ranking among the top three teams for headed goals this season—Juventus with eight and Inter with seven, tied with Fiorentina. Additionally, these two sides are among just four teams (alongside Roma and Milan) to have 13 different players score this campaign, showcasing their depth and versatility.
Lindsey Thomas has a knack for finding the net against Inter, with five goals in Serie A—only Napoli (six) has seen more from her. Meanwhile, Lia Walti has been a creative force, providing one of her three assists this season against Inter in their first meeting. Only the injured Chiara Beccari (21 chances created) has set up more opportunities than Walti's 20, tying her with Estela Carbonell and Eva Schatzer for creativity on the pitch.
Inter come into this match with a record-breaking run of seven consecutive away wins in Serie A—a club record. The last team to surpass that was Roma, who strung together nine straight between October 2022 and April 2023. However, Juventus will look to disrupt that streak with their own defensive resilience. Inter boast the best second-half attack in the league with 28 goals, but they face a Juventus side that has conceded the fewest in the second half—just six goals all season.
Set-pieces could be a deciding factor. Inter have scored 11 goals from dead-ball situations, second only to Roma's 13, and they've also conceded the fewest from set-pieces (three), with Juventus close behind at four. On the individual front, Haley Bugeja has been in fine form with 17 goals this season, adding another threat to Juventus's attack.
As the Bianconere push for Champions League qualification, this Sunday's showdown promises to be a thrilling battle of tactics, talent, and tenacity. Don't miss the action in Biella!
