Bologna vs Parma Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Coppa Italia 2025-26

La Dotta have won three of their last five games against the Crociati.

Bologna will now lock horns with Parma for their round of 16 clash of the Coppa Italia 2025-26 edition. Renato Dall’Ara Stadium will witness this high-stakes match between the two Italian clubs.

La Dotta are going to be at home for their upcoming fixture and will be keen to use it to their advantage. They faced a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Cremonese in their previous Serie A outing. Bologna are in decent form at the moment and will be looking to secure yet another win.

Parma Calcio have shown lacklustre performances since the start of the season. Their position in the league table is 17th. They must put in a top effort if they want to secure a win in their upcoming fixture.

It is going to be a tough outing for them due to their poor form. Moreover, there will be added pressure of it being an away game for them.

Players to Watch

Riccardo Orsolini (Bologna)

Riccardo Orsolini will be one of the main men in the attacking front for Bologna. He will lead the attack from the right and will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. Orsolini scored a goal in the last Italian league game for his side, although it was not enough to lead them to a win.

Mateo Pellegrino (Parma)

The 24-year-old Argentine forward will be keen to step up his style of play as the upcoming fixture is going to be a tough one for Parma Calcio. He has performed decently in the league so far. Mateo Pellegrino must put in over-the-top efforts if he wants to get a win.

Match Facts
