Beginnings of the Derby dell’Emilia

The Derby dell’Emilia is a local rivalry between Bologna and Parma, two football clubs from Emilia-Romagna. Their first match was in 1983, even though Bologna was founded in 1909 and Parma in 1913. Bologna was a successful team, winning multiple championships, while Parma was still trying to succeed. Their first game ended in a 3–3 draw, the highest-scoring match between them. The rivalry peaked in 2004–05 when both teams were fighting to avoid relegation. Bologna won the first game, but Parma won the series and stayed in Serie A. The teams didn’t meet again until 2009–10, when each team won one game and then played several draws. Parma went bankrupt in 2015 and was re-formed in Serie D, but then rose quickly to Serie A. Parma faced ups and downs, including relegations, bankruptcies, and reforms, eventually returning to the top league. Get to know more about Serie A 2025-26 and football predictions

Parma Calcio 1913 is an Italian football club based in Parma. The club was originally founded in 1913, but the current team started in 2015 after it went bankrupt. In 2015, the club was re-formed and played in Serie D. They worked hard and earned three promotions in a row, reaching Serie A in 2018. The team played three years in Serie B before being relegated to Serie C in 1948–49. The club was re-formed in June 2004 as Parma Football Club and again in July 2015 as S.S.D. Parma Calcio 1913. In the 2019–20 Serie A season, Parma finished 11th with 49 points. The next season, they finished at the bottom and were sent back to Serie B. In 2020, American Kyle Krause bought the club. Parma was promoted back to Serie A the following season. In 2024-25, Parma sacked their manager Fabio Pecchia, who helped them get promoted from Serie B.

Rise of the Bologna

Bologna is a professional football club from Bologna, Italy, that plays in Serie A. It was founded in 1909 and was one of the original teams in Serie A. The club had success in the late 1930s, winning many league titles. Bologna has played in Serie A for 79 seasons, the ninth most in Italy. After World War I, the team did well, reaching the semi-finals of a local competition in 1919–20. Post World War II, their success slowed down. During the 1950s and 1960s, they often finished near mid-table and won the league in 1963–64. In 2005–06, Bologna FC 1909 was back in Serie A, finishing 14th to avoid relegation, and continued to stay around the mid-table for several seasons.

Is it worth watching this Derby dell’Emilia?

The last game that went all the way for Parma is just a start for something bigger. We all know that Bologna just had their moment. They dominated and had control over the game the entire time. But this time, things won’t be the same. This could turn the tables from now on, and Parma won’t expect it. They now know what to do and where to attack. The previous game went that way because Bologna missed key areas and made some blunders that cost them, leaking two goals and failing to move forward. This time, it will be more than just a game for Bologna; it’s about making a winning statement that must be achieved. This game is not just worth watching for who wins. This game is worth witnessing to see how Bologna tweaks their game to crush Parma this time.

Prediction for the Derby dell’Emilia- Parma vs Bologna

This one is full of chaos and goals that will be history forever. Call Bologna mediocre; they are here to prove they got the game. And this one is not going to be easier for them. Parma might be just there, wondering if they will win eventually. But here is the twist, and Bologna is not going to be the easy target for them right now. The gameplay that everyone witnessed in February is the best performance by Bologna. But this one is going to be in the hands of Bologna. We are not talking about the numbers here. We are talking about the performance. And this is not something favorable for Parma. Parma might just be the one who scored more goals in the last game. But think about this for a while and think about Bologna. They have performed exceptionally in the last game. All the hits, shots, possession, and the sharp pass. All lines aligned in that game. Just not the luck and a few blunders. But for Parma, they have to realize they have to change their entire gameplay. Bologna has realized that, and that is the truth. They have realized and also analyzed the game and are going to be the beast in this game. But for Parma, they have to realize that Bologna is not someone who makes blunders that often. They should always be aware that Bologna is pretty cautious about intense situations. This is undoubtedly going to be more and more favorable for Bologna. This is just a short game; either Parma has their luck and wins the game like before, or Bologna realizes the gameplay, tweaks it, and is going to crush Parma with ease. And Bologna is much more anticipated to win this match.
