Roma vs Salernitana Prediction
Roma finished 6th last season, but are now entering the third season under the management of Jose Mourinho. Mourinho's third seasons at the club have not always gone well, but he looks settled at Roma, and the club have made some interesting acquisitions.
They have added considerably to their midfield ranks, signing Renato Sanches and Leandro Paredes from Paris Saint-Germain, while Houssem Aouar has joined on a free transfer. They have also signed center-back Evan Ndicka on a free transfer, while letting go of Brazilian center-back Roger Ibanez for a decent sum of money to Al-Ahli.
Roma perhaps don't attract the attention that Mourinho's previous clubs, like Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United have, and that seems to have helped Mourinho as well.
Salernitana, on the other hand, finished 15th last season, and have done well to sign striker Boulaye Dia on a permanent deal from Villarreal. His goals will be crucial if Salernitana are to retain their Serie A status.
They have also signed center-back Lorenzo Pirola and Polish midfielder Mateusz Legowski, while center-back Matteo Lovato is a highly regarded talent who will be looking to develop more this season.
Roma have made some interesting signings, and one is never far away from entertainment as long as Mourinho is around. They should win here though.
Prediction: Roma 1-0 Salernitana
