Italy - Coppa Italia

Bologna’s Coppa Italia defence starts this Thursday, with a home match against fellow Serie A side Parma. The two will be squaring off in the round of 16, which will also be their second meeting this season. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Bologna worked their way to the final last year, conceding just one goal as they lifted their fourth Coppa Italia gong. The 2025 triumph was an addition to the 1970 and 1974 gongs, and Bologna will be up for a successful defence.
However, their warmup for this clash wasn’t the best. They are coming off a 3-1 loss to promoted Serie A side Cremonese. That marked the end of their 12-match undefeated run.
Parma have already tasted defeat against Bologna this season. Their push for a third straight undefeated outing against Bologna fell flat in their league meeting in early November.
The match ended in a 3-1 loss at home, and they will be targeting revenge here. They are, however, not on a great run heading into this game, after a 2-0 Serie A loss to Udinese on Saturday.
Parma, like Bologna, are three-time winners of the Coppa Italia. Their last triumph came 23 years before Bologna’s latest, though.

Both Bologna and Parma are coming off defeats, and this will be their chance for an immediate bounce back. This match, however, does look like it will favor Bologna based on past head-to-head records as well as recent runs.
The hosts haven't lost a Coppa Italia match in the last four attempts and are coming here having only lost once in their last 12 games. As both sides are looking to return to winning ways, goals on either end remain a big possibility. It has been so in five of their last six meetings. Our prediction for Bologna v Parma is for Bologna to win and BTTS.
