I do agree that Roma is doing better, it's definitely not a bad situation to be in, and we should not see this as a bad thing. We are going to end up with not that much of a great difference between these two teams, but it's not going to be that small neither.

We are going to end up Roma being a lot better this season, because last year they had a terrible start but now they are doing a lot better because they ended the season great with Ranieri, and now they have Gasperini, so they should be a lot better. If they can keep this up then they are going to be great and I expect a lot more from them. It's obvious that Bologna is not a terrible team, but Roma is better overall and they have a more chance to win this game.
Ranieri is a unique coach, if he can find an approach to the players, he can achieve very good results. With Gasperini, it is not so simple, he is also a very good coach but very different in his strategy, which means that Roma players will have to adapt to the new coach and I am not ready to say that they will be able to become better just because their coach is Gasperini. I expect Roma to become a more attacking team, because this is Gasperini's style, but Bologna are a strong opponent, so it will not be easy to beat them.
I also think that Gasperini is a much more firm person, and if he decides that a player has to leave, he goes. The fact that he is now coaching a team like Roma gives me a lot to think about, the fact that he will certainly have quite a few problems with the management and above all if he has problems with the players, you can be sure that he will have no problem sending them away.
Gasperini is probably having the last occasion of his career to manage a big team: I think back in 2011 or something like that he managed Inter but he got sacked after a few months, it was a disaster. Now a lot time has passed, he did miracles managing Atalanta, Roma is not an easy team but it could be the right team for him, I'm very curious to see what will happen.
