Parma vs Bologna Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 7 November 2026
📢 Matchday 11 of Serie A brings an intriguing clash between Parma and Bologna at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. The hosts remain on the brink of the relegation zone, but they pulled off a major upset in the previous round and showed what they are capable of. The visitors, by contrast, have improved markedly after a poor start to the season, hit excellent form and are now climbing the table steadily. Can the Crusaders build on that result, or will the in-form Rossoblù continue their winning run?
Bologna have the better head-to-head record
📢 Parma and Bologna have met 11 times in recent years, with the Rossoblù retaining the edge in this fixture. Bologna have won five times, while the Crociati have celebrated victory just twice, with another four matches ending in draws. In last season's Serie A, the teams traded away wins: Bologna first won convincingly at the Ennio Tardini (3:1), before Parma unexpectedly gained revenge on their opponents' ground (1:0).
Head-to-head statistics Parma - Bologna
Parma have received the emotional boost they needed
Parma can hardly be pleased with their start to the season. They have struggled to pick up points and, after ten rounds, sit just 15th in the table with eight points. Unsurprisingly, the club’s management made a change of coach during the campaign, but it has yet to produce the desired result.
However, Parma’s latest match should certainly give them confidence. In the previous round, the Crusaders caused a real upset, thrashing Atalanta 3-0 away from home. In truth, that result looks remarkable given the balance of play. The visitors had just 30% possession and were outshot 20-6, while their xG was 0.46 to Atalanta’s 2.82. Nevertheless, Parma made the most of their few chances, while their opponents failed to capitalise on their overwhelming advantage. After such a poor start, though, the Crusaders did not care how they picked up points. What mattered was that the long-awaited success had finally arrived.

Bologna have quickly turned things around
Bologna also made a dismal start to the season and even spent time in the relegation zone. However, the slump did not last long. After just four rounds, the club’s management decided to make changes to the coaching staff, bringing in Raffaele Palladino, and the decision fully paid off. Under their new manager, the Rossoblù have improved markedly, winning four of their last five matches and losing only to Inter (1-3). That run has lifted Bologna out of the lower reaches of the table and into ninth place with 14 points.
In the previous round, Bologna beat Monza at home (2-1), although the hosts made a very poor start. Just six minutes in, the Rossoblù conceded a penalty and fell behind. The early goal did not knock them off course, though: Bologna took the initiative, began threatening the opposition goal more often and, through better play, managed to turn the match around.

❌ Bologna have two confirmed absentees. Emil Holm and Roberto Piccoli remain sidelined with injuries, while Lorenzo De Silvestri and Jay Enem are doubtful.
Total Goals Prediction
Although Bologna have improved noticeably and started picking up points regularly, their defensive problems have not gone away. They still make mistakes at the back, having conceded in 10 of their last 11 matches. After their surprise win over Atalanta, Parma will surely look to build on that success, especially as they will be playing at home. Our bet is Parma to score at odds of 1.61*.
Corners Prediction
Head-to-head meetings between Parma and Bologna rarely offer much for fans of high corner counts, especially when the teams play at Parma's ground. In each of their last five such Serie A matches, the teams took fewer than nine corners. Their previous meeting at the Ennio Tardini was no exception, with the teams winning just six corners between them. Our pick is therefore Total Corners - Under 8.5 at odds of 1.88*.
Yellow Cards Prediction
Parma do not have as many high-quality players and, logically, should commit more fouls, but the statistics suggest otherwise: they receive an average of 1.3 yellow cards per match and rank only 16th in Serie A. Bologna, by contrast, are among the league’s most foul-prone teams, with 2.1 yellow cards per game, the fourth-highest figure in the league. The “Red and Blues often” resort to tactical fouls to stop opposition attacks, so Bologna to receive more yellow cards is a bet worth considering.
*The odds are approximate and may differ between bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Bologna are clear favourites for the upcoming match, and we fully agree with that assessment. The Rossoblù have been playing excellent football recently, have gained confidence and have a clear advantage over their opponents in the quality of their players. Parma, of course, surprised everyone with a convincing win over Atalanta, but that result was largely down to extraordinary luck, which they cannot count on twice in a row. Therefore, our main bet is Bologna to win. Predicted score: 1:2.
