Roma Women vs Barcelona Women team news includes returning players for both squads. Roma have Sofia Jahnukainen, Giada Pellegrino Cimò and goalkeeper Olivie Lukášová back in Piovani’s match group, giving the coach more options than he had earlier in the month.

Roma’s current squad also includes Manuela Giugliano, Giada Greggi, Kayleigh van Dooren, Martina Piemonte, Omorinsola Babajide, Frederikke Thøgersen, Valentina Bergamaschi and Rachele Baldi.

Barcelona have Aitana Bonmatí available again after her recovery, while Vicky López and Kika Nazareth remain unavailable. Pere Romeu can still call on Cata Coll, Irene Paredes, Patri Guijarro, Clàudia Pina, Caroline Graham Hansen, Ewa Pajor, Kerolin and Esmee Brugts.

Roma Women vs Barcelona Women lineups will be confirmed shortly before kick-off. Roma’s recent selections point to a settled core, while Barcelona are expected to restore several senior players after rotating domestically at the weekend.

Piovani also has Babajide and Corelli as attacking options. Barcelona’s midfield selection may depend on how many minutes Romeu wants to give Bonmatí on her return.

Roma Women vs Barcelona Women stats begin with contrasting European openers. Roma kept a clean sheet in a goalless draw at OH Leuven, while Barcelona scored five after conceding first against Paris FC.

Roma followed the draw in Belgium by beating Sassuolo 3-1 in their Serie A opener. Barcelona also won at the weekend and enter the Rome fixture with a high-scoring start to their European title defence.

Roma Women vs Barcelona Women H2H strongly favours Barcelona. The teams have met three times in the UEFA Women’s Champions League and Barcelona have won all three, scoring 10 goals and conceding one.

Roma’s only goal in the series came at Camp Nou in the 2022/23 quarter-final second leg. The most recent meeting was at Tre Fontane in October 2025, when Barcelona won 4-0.

Roma Women vs Barcelona Women goals have historically come heavily from the Barcelona side of this matchup, but Roma arrive with attacking options of their own. Giugliano remains central to Roma’s creativity, while Piemonte and van Dooren can give the hosts presence around the penalty area.

Barcelona’s attack is led by players with different profiles. Pajor offers movement and finishing through the middle, Graham Hansen can create from wide areas, while Pina and Kerolin can attack from between the lines or from the flanks. Bonmatí’s return adds another ball-progressing option in midfield.

Roma’s defensive work will therefore involve more than protecting the centre. They need to manage Barcelona’s width without opening passing lanes around the edge of the penalty area.

Roma Women vs Barcelona Women prediction analysis has to account for Barcelona’s perfect three-match H2H record and their five-goal start to the league phase. Roma’s opening clean sheet and subsequent 3-1 domestic win, however, give Piovani a more useful platform than the historical record alone suggests.

Barcelona are likely to have long spells of possession and try to move Roma’s defensive block from side to side. Roma need to protect the spaces around Giugliano and Greggi while still giving their forwards enough support to prevent the match becoming one-way traffic.

The visitors have the stronger recent European record and greater scoring history in this fixture. Roma’s best route into the game is to stay compact, avoid conceding early and make their moments in transition count.
