Bologna vs Parma prediction: Home side to win
Key stats
- Parma have not won in their last four matches.
- Bologna have failed to keep a clean sheet in their past three meetings against Parma.
- Both teams have seen fewer than five cards in seven of their last eight meetings.
Correct score prediction: Bologna 2-1 Parma
After making a strong start to the season, Vincenzo Italiano’s side are struggling a bit at the moment, having picked up only one win from their last 10 Serie A matches.
This is a good time for them to get back to winning ways against Parma, who are struggling badly for form.
Both teams have seen at least three goals in seven of their last nine meetings. All six of Bologna's last six games went above the 2.5-goal line; therefore, we predict a 2-1 win for the home side.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Both sides to score
HOME: 3/5 (1.6) – 62.5%
DRAW: 29/10 (3.9) – 25.6%
AWAY: 9/2 (5.5) – 18.2%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Despite their recent struggles, Bologna, who are 10th in the Serie A table, are favourites among their bookies, and they have been priced at 3/5 (1.6) with 62.5% chances of winning.

The 24-year-old striker joined Parma in February 2025 and has been one of their best players this season. He has also scored three goals in Coppa Italia.
