Salernitana hosts AS Roma in round 2 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, August 29th at Stadio Arechi (Salerno)
Salernitana is a newcomer to the top division of Italian football with a modest club budget and a weak roster. The team failed to take points in the debut match in Serie A. In the first round, the Garnets were visiting Bologna. The fans saw all the goals in the second half. Fabrizio Castori's men took the lead twice, but the lack of concentration and experience of big games came to the fore. Bologna gained a comeback 3-2 victory, quickly responding to the opponent for every goal scored. The first home game of the Italian championship is ahead, but the opponent is even more difficult than the previous one.

The management of AS Roma decided to take a chance. The bosses of the Wolves invited Jose Mourinho. Having joined the team, the Portuguese immediately began restructuring. In the summer, the club has issued some excellent transfers. The Romans were strengthened by the following players: Abraham, Shomurodov, Rui Patricio, Vina, Ibanez, and Reynolds. Those who were not needed by the Special One left. It is too early to talk about any positive shifts in the results of Roma, but the game of the first round delighted all football fans. Roma not only beat Fiorentina 3-1 but also created a lot of chances to score. The Wolves constantly pressed on the opponent's penalty area and actively attacked, which, as you know, is not typical for Mourinho's teams. In addition, the Romans had an xG of 2.75. It's a lot. Let's see what the Wolves will show under the management of Mourinho at a distance, as in the first round, they dominated due to the advantage of one player on the pitch. All difficult exams are ahead.
In the first round, both teams had productive matches, were aimed at the opponents’ penalty areas, and had a high xG indicator. The Romans will want to continue their winning streak under the leadership of Mourinho. The attacking newcomers Abraham and Shomurodov show themselves well at the start of the new season, but FC Salernitana will try not only to cause problems to the opponent but also to earn points at the native stadium. We think that the teams please the fans with a large number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
