The Juventus Women’s First Team is gearing up for an exciting clash against AC Milan in the 2026/27 Serie A Women’s Cup. This highly anticipated match will take place on Sunday, September 6, at 12:30 CEST in Biella, where the Bianconere will look to solidify their position at the top of Group C.

So far in the tournament, Juventus has shown impressive form, having secured victories against Como 1907 and Como Women. These wins have placed them in a commanding position as they prepare to face their rivals from Milan. The match promises to be a crucial encounter, not only for the standings but also for the fierce rivalry that exists between these two teams.

As we approach the game, several interesting statistics highlight the historical context of this matchup. AC Milan has struggled against Juventus in their previous encounters, winning only five out of 24 matches across all competitions, with 15 losses and four draws. Notably, two of Milan's victories occurred in their last meetings, but they have never managed to go unbeaten in three consecutive matches against Juventus.

Juventus has consistently been a thorn in Milan's side, with the Bianconere recording more wins against the Rossonere than any other opponent, totaling 15 victories. This track record adds an extra layer of pressure on Milan as they seek to improve their performance in this year's competition.

In terms of defensive prowess, Juventus and AS Roma are tied for the most clean sheets in the Serie A Women’s Cup, each having kept four clean sheets. In contrast, Milan has yet to record a clean sheet in the tournament, joining Ternana, Napoli, and Parma in that unfortunate statistic. This defensive struggle could be a key factor in the upcoming match, as both teams look to capitalize on their opponents' weaknesses.

Juventus has also demonstrated their effectiveness in set-piece situations, scoring six goals from these opportunities, which ties them with Inter for the most in the current and previous Serie A Women’s Cup campaigns. Furthermore, they have yet to concede a goal from a set-piece, alongside Sassuolo, showcasing their defensive capabilities.

On the other hand, Milan has started the season with a draw and a win, aiming to avoid defeat in their first three matches for only the fourth time in club history. Their recent form has been solid, with only two losses in their last ten matches across all competitions, including four wins and four draws. This resurgence could provide them with the confidence needed to challenge Juventus effectively.

One player to watch for Milan is Thea Kyvag, who has already netted five goals this season, including one against Juventus during their Serie A clash on March 15. She could become the first player to score more than once against the Bianconere, adding another layer of intrigue to this already compelling matchup.

As the teams prepare for this important fixture, fans can expect a thrilling encounter filled with intensity and competitive spirit. The outcome of this match could have significant implications for both teams as they navigate the challenges of the Serie A Women’s Cup.
