Our prediction for this Serie A match:
AS Roma
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Bologna
Stadio Olimpico will host Roma’s Serie A opener against Bologna on Saturday evening. The Giallorossi aim to impress on Gian Piero Gasperini’s official debut as new Roma boss, but they will have a big fish to fry against Bologna. The club chiefs have signed the likes of Wesley, Neil El Aynaoui, Evan Ferguson, and goalkeeper Devis Vasquez in the summer transfer window, while Leandro Paredes and Eldor Shomurodov are no longer parts of the team.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, continue life without new Nottingham Forest winger Dan Ndoye, and we predict that the Swiss international is going to be sorely missed in Saturday’s encounter. Even though the likes of Nicolo Casale, Martin Vitik, Ciro Immobile, Federico Bernardeschi, and Torbjorn Heggem joined Bologna earlier this summer, we are tempted to bet on AS Roma, who have turned their Stadio Olimpico into a real fortress.
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico. The two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Capitale, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world of football.
The Giallorossi (The Yellow and Reds) have won three Serie A titles (1941/1942, 1982/1983, 2000/2001), while winning nine Coppa Italia trophies. The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
