    Potentially pivotal weekend for Roma Women


    Roma Women coach Betty Bavagnoli hopes her side will underline their recent growth with a statement performance against Sassuolo on Sunday afternoon.

    The Giallorosse travel to Reggio Emilia for an early kick-off, with the action getting underway at 12:30 local time.

    Fans can watch the match live on the club’s social media channels.

    The game promises to be a hugely important one in Roma’s season: Sassuolo are the nearest challengers to the current top four in Serie A, while matches elsewhere mean Bavagnoli’s side have a big chance to close the gap to second place and a Champions League spot.

    “We have a lot of tough games coming up and Sunday will be another crucial one – we want to come back with the three points,” Bavagnoli told Roma TV.

    “Sassuolo want the same thing, of course, so it should be a great game. Elsewhere AC Milan and Fiorentina are facing each other, so we are hoping and aiming to do everything we can to close the gap this weekend.”

    Roma go into the game in fine form, having scored six goals in each of their last two games.

    “For us it’s a positive spell, we are improving and we want to keep on improving – not just from a tactical perspective but from a mental one too,” Bavagnoli added.

    “We’ve prepared well for this game, we know we are going up against a really good side and it should be a high-quality game.

    “We are well aware of Sasuolo’s ability and the quality of their players. They are a determined side, that can change the way they play.

    “We definitely can’t afford to let our levels slip. But we are improving and we have shown that we are capable of playing some good stuff. On Sunday we need to show all of that once again.”
