LATEST FROM THE PUMA HOUSE OF FOOTBALL
AC Milan are going into the match after a goalless draw against Fiorentina. At Viola Park, the Rossonere were strong defensively, also thanks to the keeper's saves, including a penalty stop after the break. The girls need to refind the route to goal to win, and we must finish off those top chances against any team, depsite the fact that the opponents are often very strong. Bakker's team are determined to try and improve and to pick themselves up at this stage of the season. Two important factors: Chanté Dompig recently signed a new contract and the captain Grimshaw returned to training.

Coach Bakker spoke on the eve of the game: "As a unit, we will show through hard work, fight, discipline and of course passion that we can be competitive with Juventus, a team with experience. It will be another good test for us to see if together we can get the most out of this match".

Juventus left with all three points in an emotional victory against Roma (4-3), a result which could have slightly opened up the top of the table but instead the Bianconere extended their lead and they are now ten points clear.

They're a strong side, ready to give there all to take all three points.
