After a rocky start to their 2024-2025 season in Lega Volley Femminile Serie A1, Perugia has found momentum with back-to-back victories, including a 3-0 win over Honda Olivero Cuneo and a 3-1 victory against Il Bisonte Firenze. With these wins, Perugia has climbed to 11th place in the standings, just four points away from playoff contention. Now, they aim for their third straight victory against Roma on Sunday at 17:00 local time (16:00 GMT), a crucial match in their push for higher standings.
Perugia’s Recent Success and Roma’s Struggles
Romanian outside hitter Adelina Budăi-Ungureanu praised the team’s efforts, stating, “We’re definitely going through a positive period after getting the points against Cuneo and Firenze, but our approach remains the same from the start of the season.” Perugia has heavily relied on the attacking prowess of Hungarian opposite Anett Németh, the league’s top scorer with 214 points.
Roma, who sit at the bottom of the standings with only four points, are coming off a significant victory over Bulgaria’s Levski Sofia in the CEV Challenge Cup, which they won 3-1. Despite their struggles in the league, Roma will look to carry this confidence into their encounter with Perugia, the first between the two clubs in Serie A1.
Perugia’s Strategy Against Roma
With only a few matches remaining in the regular season, this game against Roma is critical for Perugia if they wish to secure a playoff spot. The team knows that every match is a step towards improvement and has set its sights on making a run in the postseason. “Roma are coming from a difficult period, but there are no easy matches in the Italian League,” Budăi-Ungureanu continued.

Other matches include Eurotek Uyba Busto Arsizio vs. Firenze and Savino Del Bene Scandicci vs. Reale Mutua Fenera Chieri ’76.
Conclusion
As Perugia prepares for their important clash with Roma, they are determined to continue their positive run. A third straight victory could propel them into the playoff zone, while Roma will be looking to break their losing streak and avoid relegation. Perugia needs to capitalize on this opportunity and keep moving up in the standings.
