Bologna won four of the last six H2H matches against their biggest rivals, while Parma won one and drew one. This season, the teams met twice, and I Rossoblù won both clashes: 3-1 in Parma in Serie A and 2-1 in the cup at Renato Dell'Ara.
Bologna team overview
Bologna have another solid season. At times, they looked capable of doing more, but right now, Vincenzo Italiano's team doesn't seem good enough to fight for places in European competitions. The last few weeks were tough for Bologna, as they won only one of the last 11 matches across all competitions. In the previous game, Italiano's team lost 3-0 at home against AC Milan. Bologna had 54% ball possession and more shots on goal than their opponent, but they again lacked creativity, so the guests recorded an easy victory.
Bologna didn't play well in the previous weeks, and in the Italian media, there are some voices that Vincenzo Italiano could lose his job. The head coach has a contract until 2027, but if bad form continues, it will not be surprising if we see a change.
Bologna have almost a full squad available for Sunday's game against Parma. Kevin Bonifazi and Jhon Lucumi are the only ones who would skip the upcoming Serie A round.

Parma team overview
After escaping relegation last season, Parma didn't see significant change. With 15 rounds left, they are six points above the drop zone, but things could change quickly, and Carlos Cuesta's team needs to find its best form. Parma struggled lately with four games without a victory. In the most recent outing, Cuesta's team lost 4-1 at home against Juventus. The hosts allowed xG of 4.14, a figure that reflects just how exposed they were at the back and why a heavy loss felt almost inevitable.
After a defeat in the previous league round, Parma's head coach, Carlos Cuesta, talked about the reasons for the disappointing performance. He said, "Sometimes when you try to do a bit more, mistakes happen, but our aim is to regain defensive solidity. It's not a mentality issue. Juventus were clearly superior today, but we've also delivered strong performances against other top sides, so I don't believe mentality is the problem. We'll certainly work hard to rebuild confidence and get results again."
Matija Frigan, Abdoulaye Ndiaye, Zion Suzuki, and Lautaro Valenti are injured and will not travel to Bologna.
