Preview: Sassuolo vs Juventus Women

The Juventus Women's First Team begin the brand new Serie A Women season this Saturday in the very same place that they kicked off their title-winning campaign a year ago - away at Sassuolo.

The Bianconere come into the Serie A season opener off the back of winning the first silverware of 2025/26 already, having lifted the inaugural Serie A Women's Cup last time out by beating Roma in the final.
