USA Women and Italy Women will face off at the Inter & Co Stadium in a friendly match on Saturday. The hosts will be keen to extend their dominance over the visitors Italy, who will hope to break their jinx.
USA Women are set to play their 11th friendly match this year, with one more scheduled for December 1, also against Italy. USA were on a five-game winning streak since May but were halted by Portugal 2-1 in Chester, Pennsylvania last month. However, USA took their revenge days later in a 3-1 win, before wrapping up the month in style against New Zealand with a 6-0 triumph.
The Stars and Stripes will be counting on Seattle Reign star Lynn Biyendolo and Emma Sears of Racing Louisville FC once more. Both strikers have scored four and three times respectively for the national team this year. Brazilian-born Chelsea midfielder Catarina Macario is another player to watch out for.
Trending
Italy Women are entering this game on the back of three winless matches. They suffered a painful exit from the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 back in July, when they were beaten by England 2-1 in the semifinals. Italy have been winless since then. However, they will hope to put house in order via the double friendly against USA.
Le Azzurre are yet to prevail over the USA in any competition. Head coach Andrea Soncin is optimistic that history could be made any day, even as he travels with a team that lost at home to Brazil 2-1 a month ago. Juventus striker Cristiana Girelli has been the bright spot for Italy, scoring six times so far this year.
