Team news
- Adrián Bernabé Out
- Dominik Drobnič Doubtful
Abdoulaye Ndiaye is reported as the likely replacement for Drobnič in the back three; Bernabé is expected back around late November.
- Jay Enem Out
- Roberto Piccoli Doubtful
- Lorenzo De Silvestri Out
- Emil Holm Out
Sources conflict on De Silvestri: Scores24 lists him as doubtful, while Sky Italia indicates he returns after the international break; treated here as out. Holm has been sidelined since September with an expected return around late February 2027.
Allowing for this news: Parma 32%, draw 29%, Bologna 40% (xG 1.12 – 1.28). This adjustment is being tested in the track record and isn't used in the prediction above yet.

Why this prediction
-
Overall strength Favours Bologna
Bologna are rated 90 points above Parma (1541 to 1450), built from every result, weighted towards recent ones.
-
Home advantage Favours Parma
Playing at home is worth about 65 rating points, which adds 9 points to Parma's chance of winning and takes the same from Bologna's.
-
Attack against defence Neutral
Expected goals 1.1 to 1.3. Parma score 1.0 a match against an average side (20th in Serie A); Bologna concede 1.1 (6th best defence).
-
Last 5 matches Favours Bologna
Parma WDLLL, barely moved; Bologna WWWLW, gained 31 rating points. Already counted in the ratings above.
-
Bookmakers' view Favours Bologna
Bookmakers rate Bologna higher than the model does: Parma 22% against the model's 33%, Bologna 51% against 39%. Prices include team news the model can't see, and over thousands of past matches the market has been the more accurate, so where they differ, lean towards it.
Not in the model -
Past meetings Neutral
Parma won 2, drew 1 and lost 1 of the last 4 meetings in the data. Not used by the model: once current strength is known, old meetings add little.

Corners
Most corners
Corner totals are hard to call: over 9.5 the model's log loss is 0.685 against 0.693 for a naive guess, across 30,937 past matches. Which side wins more corners is called much better.
Cards
Over 4.5 cards, the model's log loss is 0.653 against 0.682 for a naive guess, across 33,146 past matches. The referee matters a lot and isn't in the model.
