Bologna vs Parma prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 4, 2025
One of the Coppa Italia round of 16 clashes is set for Thursday, December 4, at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium in Bologna, where the hosts take on Parma. Here’s a betting tip for this cup showdown with a solid chance of success.
Match preview
Bologna begin their Coppa Italia campaign at home, where they traditionally look confident. The team is unbeaten in regular time in the competition for nine straight matches, seven of which ended in victory. On their own turf, Bologna have won their last six Coppa Italia fixtures, conceding just once over that stretch.
Beyond their defensive solidity, Bologna have also been prolific in attack — scoring at least twice in seven of their last nine home cup games. This aggressive style is expected to continue in this match. Bologna don’t just play at home — they dominate there.
Parma, meanwhile, have already battled through two rounds, defeating Pescara and then edging Spezia on penalties. However, the round of 16 has been a stumbling block — Parma have failed to advance past this stage in their last five Coppa Italia campaigns. Still, the team has lost only once in regular time across their last nine cup matches.
Parma regularly find the net on the road — 7 of their last 9 away Coppa Italia matches have seen them score. However, their defense remains shaky: they’ve conceded in 7 of those 9 games, and at least twice in 6 of them. That could prove costly against Bologna’s attacking firepower.
Probable lineups
- Bologna: Ravaglia, Miranda, Lucumí, Casale, Zortea, Domínguez, Moro, Odgaard, Pobega, Orsolini, Castro
- Parma: Corvi, Valeri, Valenti, Del Prato, Britci, Keita, Bernabé, Sørensen, Troilo, Pellegrino, Cutrone
Match facts and head-to-head
- Bologna have scored at least two goals in seven of their last nine home Coppa Italia matches.
- Parma are unbeaten in regular time in five consecutive away cup matches.
- Both teams have scored in 7 of Parma’s last 9 away matches in the competition.
Prediction
Given both teams’ current form and approach to cup ties, expect an open, high-scoring encounter. Bologna are strong at home and consistently find the net, while Parma rarely leave empty-handed even in tough away fixtures. However, the visitors’ defense often falters, especially against higher-level opposition. Our tip for this match is Over 2.0 goals at odds of 1.60.
