Previous Bologna vs Parma Head-to-Head Matches

Parma 1-3 Bologna Parma 2-0 Bologna Bologna 0-0 Parma Parma 0-3 Bologna Bologna 4-1 Parma

Bologna will have a lot more confidence going into this game having won 3 out of the last 5 matches and when they win, they win comfortably having scored 3 goals at least in each of their wins. This will give them a lot of confidence as they know that they can win and they can win very comfortably. They will be hoping that they can add another heavy win so that they can keep this momentum going into the Coppa Italia and Serie A.

Parma will have a massive mental disadvantage as they have struggled a lot in recent games having only managed to win 1 game out of the last 5 and the only other positive result was a 0-0 draw. They have only managed to score 1 goal when playing Bologna away and this could cause them some issues when going into this game, as they have conceded a lot.

Recent Bologna and Parma Match Analysis

Bologna last 5 matches: Bologna 0-0 Brann (H) UEFA Europa League Bologna 2-0 Napoli (H) Serie A Udinese 0-3 Bologna (A) Serie A Bologna 4-1 Salzburg (H) UEFA Europa League Bologna 1-3 Cremonese (H) Serie A

Up until their last match Bologna had been doing very well when playing at home, however, that last match might have knocked some confidence out of them before going into this game. Losing 3-1 at home while being on such good form can knock some momentum out of them and could cause issues when trying to get a result out of this match. However, before that they had been doing very well at home even beating the current league title holders Napoli 2-0 at home, so while that loss might have damaged some momentum that they had, they will still be confident when playing at home. They have also managed to score 7 goals in 3 home games something that will give them even more confidence that they will be able to get a good result from this match.

Parma last 5 matches: Roma 2-1 Parma (A) Serie A Parma 1-3 Bologna (H) Serie A Parma 2-2 Milan (H) Serie A Hellas Verona 1-2 Parma (A) Serie A Parma 0-2 Udinese (H) Serie A

Not the greatest form for Parma going into this match having only been able to pick up and single win in the last 5 matches that they have played. They have also faced Bologna in the last 5 matches, and this didn’t end well with a 3-1 loss something that you don’t want when going into a knockout game facing them. This could damage their confidence when trying to get a result against them. However, one positive they can take from the last 5 matches is that they only failed to score in a single game, so if they can sort out their leaky defence, they might have a chance at winning as they have been able to score.

Key Players to Watch: Bologna vs Parma

Riccardo Orsolini (Bologna): The winger has been one of the biggest goal threat this season for Bologna having scored 6 goals in 13 matches in the league. They will be hoping that he can get some chances especially as he is currently overperforming his xg. If he gets good chances expect him to make it count and cause issues for Parma. He will be the man to help Bologna win this match.

Mateo Pellegrino (Parma): The striker is currently Parma’s top scorer this season with 4 goals and they will be hoping that he can add at least one more to this if not more. The 24-year-old is currently overperforming his xg by 2 and they will hope this clinical edge is shown in this match and they might not get many chances so will need to take them to have a chance of going through to the next round.
