Parma and Bologna Clash in Crucial Serie A Match This Weekend

PARMA, Italy — Parma will host Bologna in a critical Serie A match on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025, at 5 p.m. local time at Stadio Ennio Tardini. Both teams face contrasting situations as they enter this round 10 fixture.

Parma sits in 15th place, just two points above the relegation zone, and has not won any of their last four matches. They suffered a setback in their previous game, losing 2-1 to joint-leaders Roma. The Crociati‘s lack of goals remains a pressing issue, with only four scored in the league this season.

In contrast, Bologna enters the match while riding a wave of positive form, positioned sixth in the standings and keen to secure a victory that could lift them into the top four. Their recent performances include two wins and three draws in their last five games, highlighting their capability to find the net against various opponents.

Parma’s struggles on offense have raised concerns among their supporters, particularly after they have failed to score in three of their last four matches. Another match without a goal against their regional rivals could push them closer into the relegation battle.

Injury woes plague Parma, with key players such as Matija Frigan and Jacob Ondrejka sidelined. Forward doubts linger over their attacking effectiveness, as most of their season’s goals have come from a limited number of players.

Bologna, however, expects to welcome back defender Emil Holm from a suspension, enhancing their squad depth. Coach Italiano aims to build on the team’s recent scoring form and capitalize on their attacking strengths. The Rossoblu haven’t lost to Parma in their last five matches, with history favoring them going into this derby.

The last meeting between these two rivals ended in a 2-0 win for Parma, fueling anticipation for a fiercely contested match on Sunday. A victory for Bologna would not only improve their standings but could also serve as a stepping stone toward their Champions League aspirations.

As fans prepare for the match, both teams will be eager to secure crucial points and step up their performances as the Serie A season continues.
