Dissecting Roberto Piccoli's Recent Form

To understand how this reported status update touches the squad, we look directly at the individual performance data across Roberto Piccoli's six-game sample stretch from August 24 to October 17, 2026. Over those six appearances, the striker averaged 64.7 minutes per match, logging one goal and zero assists on ten total shots, with two of those shots hitting the target. Defensively, he also contributed two interceptions.

From an analytical perspective, Piccoli has served as a steady focal point in Bologna's attacking rotation. Averaging nearly 65 minutes per contest indicates that he has commanded a major share of the club's frontline minutes over the past two months. Generating ten total shots across six appearances puts his individual rate at 1.67 attempts per match, representing a consistent portion of his team's offensive sequences.

Team Context and Collective Metrics

Evaluating Bologna's collective form over that same August 24 to October 17 window provides the context for his production. Across their last six matches, Bologna compiled a record of one win and two draws, averaging 1.00 goal scored and 1.50 goals allowed per game. As a collective unit, they generated 13.8 shots per game, 3.8 shots on target per game, and recorded an average possession mark of 49.5%.

Metric (Six-Game Sample)	Roberto Piccoli	Bologna Team Baseline
Games / Sample	6 Games	6 Games
Total Goals / Avg Goals	1 Goal	1.00 Goals/Game
Shots / Avg Shots	10 Total	13.8 Shots/Game
Shots on Target / Avg	2 Total	3.8 SOT/Game

Analyzing these metrics together shows that Piccoli registered one of Bologna's six total goals scored during this sample. His ten shots accounted for roughly 12% of the team's total shot output (82.8 cumulative shots over six matches). Strictly from a data standpoint, removing his presence takes away a starter who contributed directly to a notable share of the team's goal-scoring and shot-creation totals during this stretch.
