Recent form · Written before the match

Parma recently lost to Como, Inter, Torino and Lazio, with a win against Genoa, before a 0-0 against Udinese on 28 October at the Tardini. Bologna lost to Napoli and Inter, drew against Torino, then beat Lecce, Cagliari and Milan; their two most recent documented away matches ended in wins, 2-0 at Cagliari and 4-2 at Milan.

These records describe the available results, but are not enough to establish a complete run nor to compare the quality of chances, for lack of compatible xG, shots or pressing data.

Head-to-head · Written before the match

No first-leg score exists: Parma-Bologna is the first league meeting of the 2026/27 season. The pages consulted do not provide a sufficiently documented recent prior meeting to constitute a prédictive signal.

Even a historical precedent would have limited relevance if the squads or coaches had changed.

Absences and returns

Current statuses remain unknown. Orsolini had returned to collective training on 29 October, while Enem and Piccoli were following an individual programme and De Silvestri was still receiving treatment; their availability and their starting status against Parma are not confirmed.

Parma had reported a scaphoid fracture for Dominik Drobnic on 22 September, with no sufficiently direct subsequent update. Bologna had called up Happonen, Pessina and Skorupski against Monza on 30 October, without confirming their availability or the starting goalkeeper for that match.

Context & news

Parma can impose a closed match thanks to the compact block suggested by the clean sheet against Udinese and the advantage of the Tardini, but its three goals conceded against Inter and Torino and then two against Lazio recall that its defensive stability is irregular. Bologna can exploit spaces in transition, with its recent wins at Cagliari and Milan and Orsolini's return to collective training, but its defeats against Napoli and Inter as well as the draw against Torino show that its output is not constant.

The exact standings before kick-off remain uncertain; an update after eight matches placed Parma 19th with 4 points and Bologna 13th with 8 points.
