Bologna-Milan Postponed Due to Bad Weather, For Now | OneFootball

The Round Nine’s clash between Bologna and Milan won’t take place on Saturday at 6 pm as scheduled due inclement weather forecast. Emilia has been battered by heavy rains in recent days, with more downpours expected to come over the weekend, Sky reports.

Mayor Matteo Lepore made the call after consulting the police commissioner and the prefect, suspending the game due to potential public order and viability problems. The area is already in critical condition and 35k people would have reached it to attend the fixture.

The League, Milan, and Bologna will have to find a new date amid an extra busy schedule since both teams play in the Champions League. The next time they won’t have midweek bouts will be in mid-December and mid-January. Serie A hasn’t made the announcement yet, as the teams want to find a way to hold the contest anyway, but the decision came from above their heads.

As a result, the Rossoneri will be without two key men for the ensuing meeting with Napoli. Due to the postponement, the suspensions of Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders must be served in the next league game.

Instead, Bologna will face Cagliari away in the upcoming midweek matchday. The Felsinei have won just once in the first eight contests but have also been defeated the same amount, tallying six total draws already. They are in 12th position.

Milan will miss out on the opportunity to build momentum following the victories over Udinese and Club Brugge. They’ll be at least five points behind Napoli, which are top of the table, heading into Tuesday’s fixture. The Partenopei will take on the reeling Lecce on Saturday.
