Still without a home win in 2026, the Rossoblu suffered their third straight league defeat in midweek; meanwhile, the visitors have picked up just two points from their last four matches.<\/p>\n

Match preview<\/h2>\n
Though Bologna had more of the ball in Tuesday\u2019s meeting with AC Milan, they offered virtually no threat and were soundly beaten 3-0, recording their fifth loss in six Serie A home games.<\/p>\n
There is no time to reflect, though, as the Rossoblu must try to stop the rot when they meet Emilian rivals Parma, before continuing their Coppa Italia defence with a quarter-final tie against Lazio three days later.<\/p>\n
After making a solid start to the season, Vincenzo Italiano<\/a>\u2019s side have plunged headlong into a crisis since the start of December: no team has lost more Serie A matches – seven out of 11 – and they have conceded the joint-most goals (22).<\/p>\n Though they recently booked a Europa League playoff against SK Brann by winning their final league-phase fixture, Bologna now sit much closer to the bottom half than Italy’s European places.<\/p>\n Another defeat in Sunday\u2019s lunchtime kickoff would see them suffer four consecutive league losses at the Dall\u2019Ara for just the third time to date.<\/p>\n With little else to lift the mood among fans of the Felsinei, at least history suggests they can avoid such a fate: Bologna have lost just one of their last 12 top-flight clashes with Parma.<\/p>\n Indeed, Parma have produced a single victory from their last 16 league visits to the Dall\u2019Ara, while they were beaten 3-1 in the reverse fixture at Stadio Tardini.<\/p>\n Yet, the Gialloblu would move within four points of their regional rivals with a victory this weekend, having been miles apart as recently as November.<\/p>\n A positive string of results had lifted Carlos Cuesta<\/a>\u2019s side away from serious danger and towards mid-table, before two heavy defeats stalled that momentum.<\/p>\n Losing 4-0 to Atalanta BC meant Parma had also failed to score in three straight matches; a bizarre own goal ended that drought last week, but they still lost 4-1 at home to Juventus.<\/p>\n Yet to suffer three successive league losses under Cuesta, the league\u2019s second-lowest scorers will try to reverse that slump by exploiting Bologna\u2019s leaky back line.<\/p>\n Bologna Serie A form:<\/p>\n L D W L L L<\/p>\n Bologna form (all competitions):<\/p>\n W\u00a0L\u00a0D\u00a0L W L<\/p>\n Parma Serie A form:<\/p>\n L W D D L L<\/p>\n \u00a9 Imago<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The hosts\u2019 struggling defence could benefit from the return of Colombian centre-back Jhon Lucumi<\/a>, who has now completed his recovery from a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n Only veteran full-back Lorenzo De Silvestri<\/a> is a doubt, giving Italiano plenty of options to choose from.<\/p>\n Once again, Thijs Dallinga and Santiago Castro<\/a> will vie to lead Bologna\u2019s attack: the latter\u2019s only Serie A brace came in November\u2019s reverse fixture, but he has scored just once on home turf this season.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Parma will rely on Castro\u2019s compatriot\u00a0Mateo Pellegrino<\/a>, who has scored six of their 15 league goals – and no-one else has found the net this calendar year.<\/p>\n Having arrived towards the end of the transfer window, new boys Gabriel Strefezza, Hans Nicolussi<\/a>\u00a0Caviglia and Franco Carboni could all feature at some stage.<\/p>\n The visitors are still missing injured goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, plus\u00a0Pontus Almqvist<\/a>, Lautaro Valenti, Abdoulaye Ndiaye and long-term absentee Matija Frigan.<\/p>\n Bologna possible starting lineup:<\/strong><\/p>\n Skorupski; Zortea, Lucumi, Heggem, Lykogiannis; Freuler, Ferguson; Orsolini, Odgaard, Cambiaghi; Castro<\/p>\n Parma possible starting lineup:<\/strong><\/p>\n Corvi; Delprato, Circati, Troilo, Valeri; Bernabe, Keita, Nicolussi Caviglia; Ondrejka, Strefezza; Pellegrino<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Both sides have suffered big setbacks in the past week, while Bologna’s mid-season malaise stretches back even further.<\/p>\n Even so, the Rossoblu can surely beat goal-shy Parma on home turf – though it may be a tense, close-fought contest.<\/p>\n For data analysis of the most likely results, scorelines and more for this match please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0\n<\/p><\/div>\n Hoping to halt their nosedive down the Serie A standings, free-falling Bologna will welcome local rivals Parma to Stadio Dall\u2019Ara on Sunday.
