Serie A 2025-2026: Bologna-Parma, the likely lineups

At lunchtime (12:30 p.m.), Bologna-Parma, the derby of Emilia, takes the stage. The Rossoblu are going through a difficult time. They have won only one of the last 11 league matches played and lost the last challenge, at home, with Milan with a dry 0-3. The Ducali are no better off: one win in their last seven matches and eight goals conceded in their two most recent outings with Juventus and Atalanta.

Both coaches need a win to restore confidence in the’environment. Italiano seems convinced to bet on Skorupski as the starting goalkeeper. At the moment Orsolini is at a disadvantage in the ballot with Bernardeschi. On the other side, Cuesta seems intent on giving Strefezza a big chance right away. Pellegrino always in the center of the attack.

There are 25 previous matches between the two teams with the Felsinei winning on 10 occasions, five victories for the Ducali (10 draws). Parma’s last victory at the Dall’Ara dates back to Dec. 22, 2012: 2-1 the final. On June 18, 2005, the return match of the salvation play-off was staged at the home of Bologna, with Parma winning 2-0, thus condemning the Felsinei to relegation (Bologna had won 1-0 at the Tardini in the first leg).

The first leg of the match was played on June 18, 2005.
