Bologna vs Parma Soccer Betting Tips
Well wedged in the soft underbelly of the standings, Bologna finished the previous year in 12th place in Serie A, far from the horrors of relegation and the last European places. In order to prepare for this new season, Sinisa Mihailovic’s men first beat FeralpiSalo (Serie C, 2-0) before being held in check by Entella (Serie B, 0-0). Last Monday, Bologna got off to a bad start in the league by losing its first game played in the den of AC Milan (2-0).
Last year, Parma won an honorable 11th place in Serie A with 2 units ahead of its opponent of the day. This new season which begins marks a turning point in the life of the club with the departure of coach Roberto D’Aversa, which has allowed the team to move from Serie C to Serie A in 3 seasons. He is replaced by Fabio Liverani who officiated in Lecce. During the preparation, the partners of the former Bordeaux player Cornelius won their 2 games played against residents of Serie C, Carpi (2-0) and Pro Sesto (6-0), but lost against a Serie B formation, Empoli (0-2). Last weekend, Parma lost their 1st home league game against Napoli (0-2).
The staff for Bologna vs Parma
Bologna has to deal with the suspension of the usually titular left side Dijks, sent off last weekend. The team moved very little during the offseason and decided to bet on continuity to start this new season. We can still note the arrival of the experienced De Silvestri (Torino). Starters on Matchday 1, goalkeeper Skorupski, defenders Danilo and Tomiyasu, midfielder Soriano, winger Orsolini, and striker Barrow should be returned on Monday.
3 elements are lacking in Parma for this meeting: the captain of the defense Gagliolo, the potentially starting midfielder Scozzarella, and the important winger Gervinho injured. During the offseason, the club turned a page by thanking coach D’Aversa who was already there in Serie C and was replaced by Liverani. Note also the departure of the revelation of last season Kulusevski to Juve, but also of other loaned Hernani, Pezzella, and Grassi who were most often holders last season when they were available. Suspended last weekend, midfielder Kurtic is back.
