Juve-Atalanta, postponed due to snow. But on Wednesday they will face each other in the Italian Cup

Between Juventus and Atalanta the snow won. The abundant fall of snowflakes on the Piedmontese capital made the pitch of the Allianz Stadium in Turin unplayable, thus making it impossible to play the championship match between the black and whites and the postponement inevitable. Gambling would have endangered the safety of the gamblers and depleted the show.

The decision to postpone the match was taken at 18 pm by the match director after having consulted the captains and managers of the two teams. The two clubs have decided to set the new date for the championship match only after Tottenham-Juve on 7 March, if there are no new surprises, they will meet again on the pitch, again in Turin, already next Wednesday for the return of the Coppa Italia semi-final .

Today's postponement benefits Atalanta above all who, after the hardships and disappointments of Thursday's Europa League against Borussia Dortmund, had decided to change 9 of the 11 players on the pitch. But Juve doesn't mind either, both to avoid the risk of accidents on extremely dangerous ground and because they will be able to recover Higuain for the championship match against Atalanta.
