Team News
Bologna
Bologna suffered a 2-1 defeat at AC Milan last time with Mattia Destro netting their only goal. The defeat ended a good performance for the Rossoblu, who were unbeaten in the previous four matches.
Sinisa Mihajlovic's men are slowly breaking free from relegation problems in recent weeks and are now five points ahead of the bottom three. They were very good at home lately with five consecutive wins putting them at 1.83 odds on Monday.
Nicola Sansone and Mitchell Dijks were both suspended for clashes on Monday after being sent off last time. Destro can be given the start following his goal at Milan while Riccardo Orsolini and Erick Pulgar are also expected to maintain their place in a team that is already in good condition.
Parma
Parma were held to a 3-3 draw by Sampdoria in the last Serie A match. Despite taking the lead at the start of the first half, they needed a Juraj Kucka penalty and an Alessandro Bastoni effort to save a draw.
Crociati is also trying to keep themselves above the relegation zone and is currently six points ahead of the bottom three. Roberto D'Aversa's men have not won in their last nine matches and are rewarded with odds of 6.00 for a win at Bologna with a draw at 3.00.
Kucka was shown a red card at the end of the draw against Sampdoria and was suspended due to Monday's match. Gervinho and Fabio Ceravolo are expected to continue their partnership in the attack despite only joining three goals in their last 10 matches.
Bologna vs Parma Betting Tips
Earlier this season, the return of Parma to Serie A seems to be preparing a revival for their luck. They make going up to the top look easy with a good start, but everything has gone down. We considered them safe months ago, but mathematically they can still return to Serie B with only three matches left. Their hopes of survival could be hit again this week, as the club faces a difficult clash that could bring more misery to the bad half of the campaign.
Bologna have been amazing in recent months, having switched from the certainty of relegation to midtable clothing. Sinisa Mihajlovic has done a tremendous job to change them to be parties who are ready to continue to follow these provisions. The club has moved five points ahead of the bottom three despite slipping to the relegation zone for most of the season under Pippo Inzaghi. Betting them with big names but young coaches backfired, but they found a great solution based on this form.
Parma almost ensure safety in the league, which will be their minimum goal this season. However, they must work to cross the line this week. They go into Monday's match with five consecutive draws in Serie A, but can they return to winning ways? At one point they had a strong away record that helped them move away from danger, but they have now lost eight on the road this season ahead of this trip.
Bologna saw their progress stalled last week, when they lost 2-1 at AC Milan. However, the defeat was indeed narrow. They caused problems at the San Siro, while they showed a threat that was lost during a 0-0 draw with Milan in their last home match. That's where Sinisa Mihajlovic makes a difference. In increasing the threat of their attack, he managed to get Bologna out of danger and free from the relegation zone.
Their home results have shown their improvement under the new boss, because Bologna have managed to win their last five in this land. They have scored at least twice in each, which should help get rid of the Parma team that failed to win in eight. We think that the pace of the Rossoblu's victory at home will continue, while they gloriously give prices to secure a win against a poor Parma outfit.
