Juventus Women will begin their 2026/27 domestic campaign on Friday, August 21, traveling to face newly promoted Como 1907 in a Serie A Women’s Cup Group C encounter. The match kicks off at 18:00 CEST, with AC Milan also competing in the group stage alongside the two teams.
The Bianconere come into the fixture as defending champions, having claimed victory in the competition’s inaugural final last season against Roma. Juventus demonstrated strong form in pre-season Champions League qualifying, securing consecutive wins that position them well for a potential third consecutive match victory to start their campaign.
Como present a formidable challenge, having enjoyed an exceptional recent run with eight consecutive victories across all competitions. The Lombardy-based side finished last season with an impressive 23 wins from 28 matches, conceding remarkably few goals at home with an average of just 0.9 per match. Forward Valentina Giacinti will be a key player to monitor, having contributed significantly to Como’s goal tally last campaign.
The teams bring contrasting attacking records to the fixture. Juventus showcased attacking depth last season with 17 different goalscorers across competitions, while Michela Cambiaghi demonstrated versatility by netting across four different competitions for the club. Como scored impressively at home but registered fewer scorers overall compared to their opponents.
