👉 Here is the preview for Bologna vs Salernitana.   Bologna looking to win the Serie A Week 1 game against Salernitana on Sunday 22 August 2021 at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy.  Newly promoted Salernitana enjoying this gala debut and will target for the victory.

Bologna have won just one of their last 11 Serie A season openers having 1 win, 4 draws, and losing 6. Salernitana finished in the second position in Serie B last season promoted to the Serie A for the first time in 23 years and just the third time ever.   Bologna ended in the 12th position with 41 points and a negative goal difference of -14 just 1 point below Genoa with 42 points.

Salernitana having a challenge to improve their attack as last season they ended in the top  tenth top-scorers in the Serie B.   Problem now is that top-scorer Gennaro Tutino left after the expiration of his loan.  The pressure now is for new signings Nwanwko Simy and Federico Bonazzoli.

Salernitana ended their last Serie A campaing -20 years ago –  with 4 wins, 3 draws, and 1 lost.  One of those wins was precisely against Juventus.   Salernitana’s Joel Obi scored his last Serie A goal in November 2018 against Bologna, while playing for Chievo Verona.

Seven of the previous 9 newly-promoted sides that have lost a Serie A away campaign opener have failed to score before half time.  Will Salernitana break this stat?
