Parma Team News
Parma at least managed to score in the 2-1 midweek defeat to Roma, after not being able to do so against Genoa and against Como, much weaker but more defensively careful sides. These matches ended 0-0.
There's not much to say about Parma, they're always on the brink of losing the game but they can get a draw if they manage to keep a clean sheet. Their sole win of the season was at home against Torino 2-1, but you can't really bet on Parma to win in any game. They simply play slow uneventful matches and then, due to sheer variance, they'll take a win here and there.
Bologna Team News
Other than setbacks in visits to Roma, Milan and Aston Villa, all of which were lost 1-0, Bologna can't seem to lose a match this season. Although, it must be pointed out, all those other matches seem to have been against mid- and bottom-third teams. Nice schedule for Bologna indeed, and it now continues with a short trip to play Parma.
It takes a really strong opponent with a good game plan to beat Bologna and, unlike some other sides, they don't get exposed against the minnows either. Bologna is in perfect control of almost every game, without any liabilities in defence.
Probable Lineups
Parma (4-4-2): Suzuki - Delprato, Circati, Ndiaye, Britschgi - Bernabe, Estevez, Ordonez, Sorensen - Cutrone, Pellegrino. Coach Pecchia.
Bologna (4-2-3-1): Skorupski - Holm, Heggem, Lucumi, Miranda - Moro, Freuler - Orsolini, Odgaard, Dominguez - Castro. Coach Italiano.
The Betting Market
Bologna is priced at 2.05, with 3.00 for the draw and 4.20 for Parma. It's the Parma price that has a lot of value, if you're in for a punt.
It's as if the Under is certain, with a price of 1.53, and if you think otherwise you can get 2.50. But it would be unwise to do so, this is an under through and through.
Both Teams To Score:YES carries a tempting price of 2.05 while the NO option is priced at 1.70.
The Betting Verdict
Parma is so poor that apparently everyone can right their ship against this side. Lecce won, Cagliari won. However, this is a local derby and the atmosphere will be more heated than usual. The all-time H2H favours draws at 22, while Bologna has 14 wins compared to Parma's 13.
We think it would be foolish to bet on Bologna here for 2.05 even though they're the better side, as this fixture is always leaning towards a draw. So, for the first time this season, we'll place a bet on The Draw. We're looking at either 0-0 or the classic 1-1 where one side takes the lead and the other manages to catch up. We don't see either side scoring twice.
