[(AS Roma) Strength]:
1. In the 38 games of last season, AS Roma finally achieved 20 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses, finishing 5th in the league. They secured a qualification for this season's UEFA Europa League, with a remarkable performance.
2. AS Roma scored a total of 56 goals in 38 games last season, and have netted 9 goals in 6 recently played games, maintaining a solid performance in the attacking end.
3. AS Roma conceded only 35 goals in 38 games last season, second only to the league champions Napoli (27 goals), and the team's defensive ability should not be underestimated.
4. AS Roma's home performance last season ranked third in the league, with 13 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, fully demonstrating their home advantage.
5. AS Roma grabbed 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 6 warm-up games, with good performances overall.
6. AS Roma failed to win in only one of the last 8 home games in AH with a high win rate.
[(AS Roma) Weakness]:
1. AS Roma have just signed striker Leon Bailey from Aston Villa, but the player is suspected to have suffered a tendon injury during training after joining the club and will miss this game.
2. AS Roma lost to Bologna FC 1909 twice last season, so they have huge mental pressure.
[(Bologna FC 1909) Strength]:
1. Last season, Bologna FC 1909 finished 9th in the league with 16 wins, 14 draws and 8 losses. However, the team claimed the title by defeating AC Milan in the Coppa Italia, which also earned them a qualification spot for European competitions. Overall, they achieved a certain degree of success.
2. Bologna FC 1909 scored a total of 57 goals last season, and even tallied 15 goals in their last 5 warm-up games, with the team's attacking line delivering an outstanding scoring performance.
[(Bologna FC 1909) Neutral]:
1. Bologna FC 1909 signed midfielder Tommaso Pobega from AC Milan during the off-season, and also added defensive players such as Nicolo Casale and Stefan Posch to their defensive end, aiming to improve their defensive capabilities. However, judging from their performance in warm-up matches, the team still needs time to build up coordination and chemistry among the new and existing players.
2. Bologna FC 1909 recorded 6 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses in 19 away games last season. Their away performance is relatively average, and they are not a team good at playing away from home.
3. Bologna FC 1909 ended 5 of the last 6 games with OVER.
[(Bologna FC 1909) Weakness]:
1. Bologna FC 1909 conceded 47 goals in 38 games last season, and also let in 9 goals in their last 5 warm-up games, so the team's defensive performance still needs further adjustments and improvements.
[Tips]:
In the 38 games of last season, AS Roma finally achieved 20 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses, finishing 5th in the league. They secured a qualification for this season's UEFA Europa League, with a remarkable performance.
They will face Bologna FC 1909, who won their two encounters last season, in the first game. The team finished 9th in the league last season, but won the Coppa Italia, which also earned them a qualification spot for European competitions.
In this encounter, AS Roma's desire to avenge their past defeat and secure a season-opening victory is beyond doubt.
The team ranked 3rd in home performance last season, while Bologna FC 1909's away capabilities are relatively mediocre.
Moreover, judging from their recent warm-up game performances, the defensive issues that were heavily criticized last season have not been significantly improved.
In conclusion, we expect AS Roma to win this home game and make a good start.
