AS Roma Women will welcome Ajax Women to Stadio Tre Fontane for a UEFA Women's Champions League fixture on Thursday.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a routine 2-0 away victory over Sassuolo in Serie A Femminile. Manuela Giugliano and Saki Kumagai scored in either half to guide their side to victory.
Ajax, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Twente in the Vrouwen Eredivisie. Renate Jansen's 22nd-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.

The stalemate left the Italians joint-second in Group C while Ajax lead the way at the summit on three points.
