The Women’s Serie A is ready to start the second round of the first phase which will decide the five teams that will compete for the Scudetto and places in Europe and the other five that will instead try to avoid relegation. At the moment, both at the top and at the bottom, four teams seem to have their fate sealed with Milan and Como Women tied in fifth place and looking set to battle it out for the last place for the elite of Italian football.
And the return round that will start at the weekend will pit the two teams from Lombardy immediately against each other in an already delicate direct clash in which important points could arrive even if they are not yet decisive. However, Fiorentina, second in the standings, will open the day and will try to keep Roma and Inter at a distance by challenging a Napoli Femminile team in need of points to move away from the last place in the standings. Also on Saturday, a Sampdoria team will also take to the field, fresh from the sacking of their coach, who will have the difficult task of looking for points against an Inter team that intends to win a place in Europe for the first time.
On Sunday, all eyes will be on the Capitoline derby between Rome and Lazio: the Giallorossi want to make up for it after the draw in the first leg to continue to keep pace with the first two, while the Biancocelesti aim to interrupt a negative series and give joy to their supporters. An important test also for Juventus who will host a Sassuolo team who found their first victory of the season last day and are now looking for continuity.
