The intense Serie A face-off between Salernitana and Bologna on December 10, 2023, saw Bologna secure a 2-1 victory, due largely to their efficient attack in the first half. However, Salernitana dominates in the stats, particularly in the area of corner kicks and possession.

Bologna was quick to steal the initiative, scoring two goals within 20 minutes of play. These openings were a testament to the potency of their attack, managing to convert their chances efficiently. Interestingly, this was in contrast to their meager corner kick figure of 1, indicating their direct style of gameplay which paid off in this match.

Salernitana, however, seemed to dominate the match in terms of ball possession and territorial advantage, which is evident from the significant disparity in the number of corner kicks. They managed to generate five corner kicks, compared to Bologna’s single corner kick. This suggests that Salernitana spent more time in the opposition’s half threatening the goal. However, they were less clinical in the front of the goal, only converting one of these opportunities into a goal in the 75th minute of the match.

The match was marred by a high number of fouls and yellow cards, primarily from the home team, which significantly impacted the flow and outcome of the game. Salernitana conceded a hefty 20 fouls, resulting in seven yellow cards. This high card count not only disrupted their game plan due to the constant stoppages but could also have played on the minds of the Salernitana players, forcing them to be more cautious and less aggressive in their play. Bologna, while they conceded fewer fouls with 15 and received three yellow cards, took advantage from Salernitana's less aggressive play.

Despite their advantage in terms of field position, Salernitana was not observed to be caught in offside traps, which could indicate a lack of positive forward running from the team, contrasting Bologna’s more commanding forward plays that led to two offside calls.

In conclusion, while Salernitana appeared to control more aspects of the game, Bologna managed to showcase efficiency, especially in attack. Their quick goals in the first half and maintaining their lead despite the pressure, granted them a hard-earned victory in this fixture. Meanwhile, Salernitana will look into reducing their fouls and possibly enhancing their attacking threat to convert their dominance into goals in future games.
