2026-2027 Serie A: Parma vs. Bologna, Probable Lineups

Parma and Bologna face off at 6 p.m. in the Emilia derby, part of Matchday 11 of Serie A. Thanks to their victory in the last round against Atalanta, Gilardino’s team has climbed to 15th place with 8 points and now aims to capitalize on home-field advantage at the Tardini to pull away from the relegation zone. Palladino’s men have won four of their last five matches and are close to the European qualification spots.

Gilardino is expected to field the same lineup as in Bergamo, with the possible exception of the attack: Touré is competing with Romero for a starting spot. With Bernabé out, Fabbian and Lontani will play in the attacking midfield. Sierro and Keita are the two central midfielders, with Britschgi and Valeri on the wings.

Palladino will start Odgaard up front, with Bernardeschi and Cambiaghi (or Mbangula) supporting him. In midfield, Pobega will partner with Ferguson, while Zortea and Miranda will play as fullbacks. In defense, Darmian will start alongside Casale and Theate.
