Parma preview: Can they bounce back to winning ways?
At the moment, it feels like Carlos Cuesta’s side are in a real mess, and their inability to score regularly this season has been an enormous problem.
They are missing several players, with Matija Frigan (knee), Jacob Ondrejka (ankle), Mandela Keita (knee), Gaetano Oristanio (muscle) and Emanuele Valeri (ankle) all sidelined.
Predicted lineup: Suzuki (GK), Prato, Circati, Ndiaye, Britschgi, Bernabe, Estevez, Sorensen, Ordonez, Pellegrino & Cutrone
Last five matches
- Roma 2-1 Parma
- Parma 0-0 Como
- Genoa 0-0 Parma
- Parma 0-1 Lecce
- Parma 2-1 Torino
Bologna preview: Can the visitors avoid a third draw in a row?
Vincenzo Italiano will be disappointed to see their side conceding two goals against Fiorentina after leading 2-0, especially with Moise Keane scoring a penalty right at the end.
They drew 0-0 against Torino, and need a strong result against Parma ahead of their Europa League clash in midweek, followed by a home clash against Napoli.
Predicted lineup: Skorupski (GK), Holm, Heggem, Lucumi, Miranda, Freuler, Moro, Orsolini, Odgaard, Dominguez & Castro
Last five matches
- Bologna 0-0 Torino
- Fiorentina 2-2 Bologna
- FCSB 1-2 Bologna
- Cagliari 0-2 Bologna
- Bologna 4-0 Pisa
Player to watch: Riccardo Orsolini
Orsolini reportedly rejected a big-money offer to move to Saudi Arabia, and once again, he has been superb for Bologna.
The 28-year-old right winger has scored six goals in all competitions and will be looking to add more to his goal tally on Sunday.
