Yes that is true that Antonio Conte is popular for his style and reliance on specific players like Romelu Lukaku. And his success in winning titles proves his methods can work with he uses main striker or more flexible attack. His teams do not always depend on one player for goals. Instead of this they are designed so that goals can come from many different positions making team harder to defend. And some teams have struggled without consistent goal scorer like Arsenal and Chelsea having top forward alongside other attacking threats gives team more options and depth to win in different situations.

Every coach has their own plan for maximizing the strengths of their players, although Conte focuses a little more on players like Romelu Lukaku for finishing. If he were coaching a Premier League team, it might be very difficult if a striker doesn't live up to expectations in terms of goalscoring, so other options should also be considered as a way to maximize existing strengths.

The luck of achieving the Scudetto without pressure might be an opportunity, but in some cases, it can be a burden. Strikers are not always in a position to score goals, especially when facing a more defensive team, so coaches must find other options to achieve their goals.

The first week of Serie A is just a few days away, friends.

These are the two matches that have caught my attention the most, two matches with quite tempting payouts if you correctly predict the outcome.
Roma is currently under the leadership of Gasperini, who we know shone with Atalanta previously. I'm curious to see if he can once again show his prowess with Roma.

For the first fixture, I will give it to Roma, This is because Bologna do not seem like they have the capacity to defeat Roma, even if I want to judge them by their past performances in the previous season, they are not a match with Roma and cannot do as much with Roma so I think it is mostly better that we just maintain a regular expectation from both team because even Roma I will not advise we throw our full weight of expectations on them all at once.

If it was in the past 3 Serie A seasons, I would have agreed with you that AS Roma will beat Bologna, but with how Bologna's performance has dramatically improved, I refuse to accept that AS Roma will beat Bologna even though the bookmakers favor AS Roma to beat Bologna. In my opinion, this AS Roma vs Bologna match is likely to end in a draw, and if I were to place a bet on this game, I would play both teams to score because that is the most possible option this match can produce.
