Indeed, when assessing team performance, it's important to consider statistics and past performances. Some believe that Roma, as the stronger team, usually has the advantage in matches against weaker teams like Bologna. You are very wrong, in some history a few years ago Bologna gave resistance to As Roma, you can see it in last year's standings.
January 13, 2025---------- Bologna 2-2 As Roma
November 10, 2024--------- As Roma 2-3 Bologna
April 22, 2024--------- -----As Roma 1-3 Bologna
December 18, 2023---------- Bologna 2-0 As Roma
However, in football, results cannot always be accurately predicted. Many factors influence this. Cooperation between players and tactical understanding can improve team performance, and, equally important, players' stamina and physical fitness are crucial. Players in good condition tend to perform better and last longer in matches. Teams that communicate well and understand each other's roles are generally better organized and can produce better results.
Bologna dominated Roma in latest matches and recent seasons but change can appear in this season. AS Roma have good player transfer activities in the summer and they also got Gasperini from Atalanta who is expected to build up another successful team after what he achieved impressively in Bergamo with Atalanta. AS Roma and Bologna are still not too different in quality but a good head coach can make difference and Gasperini is capable to do this with AS Roma.
It can be a first win of AS Roma against Bologna after a series of bad matches and if they win it, they will not only begin this season well but also will have good advantage against one of direct competitors for top four in this season.
