Parma will welcome Bologna to Stadio Ennio Tardini in Serie A on Saturday. The hosts have dropped to 18th place in the league table with 20 points from 25 games. The Rossoblù have registered 10 wins and are in eighth place with 41 points.
The Crociati are winless in Serie A in 2025 and have suffered four consecutive defeats. They hosted Roma in their previous league outing and fell to a 1-0 loss. Giovanni Leoni was sent off in the 31st minute and Roma made the most of the numerical advantage, with Matías Soulé scoring two minutes later.
The visitors have enjoyed an unbeaten run this year, winning five of their 10 games across all competitions. They played Torino at home last week and registered a 3-2 win. Dan Ndoye bagged a brace and they were helped to the win thanks to Cristiano Biraghi's 90th-minute own goal.

Parma vs Bologna Prediction
The Crociati have lost four games on the trot and will look to bounce back here. They have scored two goals in three home games this year while conceding five goals. They have won just one of their last 11 meetings against the visitors, though that win was registered away from home in 2012.
They have a lengthy injury list for this match. Adrian Benedyczak underwent surgery earlier this week and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Giovanni Leoni is another absentee as he will serve a suspension here.
The Rossoblù have seen an upturn in form, winning three of their four games while keeping three clean sheets. Interestingly, their three Serie A away games in 2025 have ended in draws. They are unbeaten in their last five away games in this fixture while keeping three clean sheets.
Jens Odgaard, Estanis Pedrola, and Emil Holm remain sidelined with injuries while Riccardo Orsolini should return to the starting XI.
The visitors have enjoyed a good run of form and, considering their better record in this fixture, the Veltri are expected to register a comfortable win.
