Bavagnoli demands professional display to close out 2019

Roma head to Stadio Tre Fontane for the final time this year looking to make it three wins in the space of a week, following last Sunday’s 4-1 triumph over Inter Milan and the midweek 2-0 cup victory at Pink Bari.

Orobica arrive in the Italian capital struggling at the very foot of the Serie A table, but Bavagnoli is not taking much notice of that.

“Before training I told the girls we can’t afford to underestimate our opponents,” Bavagnoli told Roma TV.

“When we go out to play we can’t be thinking about where Orobica are in the league.

“Tomorrow I want to see a team with the right look, a team that tries to give me the answers I’ve been wanting in terms of attitude and performance. I want them to continue the path they’ve been on over the last few games.

“Having just got through two tough games in four days there is probably going to be a few changes, so for that reason all my players need to be ready to go.”

Bavagnoli hopes the game will see the fans turn out in force once again, to cheer the girls into the festive period.

“It will be our last game of 2019 and because of that I hope once again that our fans will come and support us and help drive us towards victory – just like they have always done,” Bavagnoli said.

“For our part, we want to give our fans something more to cheer about before the winter break – because they deserve it.”

Saturday's match gets underway at 14:30 local time - and will be broadcast live on Twitter.
