Sampdoria-Genoa on Feb 24

By Football Italia staff

The Derby della Lanterna between Sampdoria and Genoa will now be played on Tuesday February 24.

The game was postponed on Saturday evening due to a waterlogged pitch at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

It is expected to continue raining into the night, so playing on Sunday afternoon would also have been risky.

Genoa were pushing for a Monday night match, while Sampdoria preferred March 3 or 11.

The Lega Serie A has now decided to reschedule the derby for Tuesday February 24 at 17.30 GMT.

As a result of this, Sampdoria’s Week 25 match with Atalanta has been moved from Saturday February 28 at 17.00 GMT to Sunday March 1 at 14.00 GMT.
