The impact of European competitions is reshaping the Serie A calendar, with two crucial postponed matches finally finding their place in the schedule. While official confirmation is expected on Friday afternoon following the Champions League and Europa League playoff draws, it appears that both Fiorentina-Inter and Bologna-Milan will be played by the end of February, clearing up the asterisks in the league table.
Fiorentina-Inter, which was dramatically interrupted on December 1st due to Edoardo Bove’s on-field medical emergency, is likely to be resumed on Thursday, February 6th. This date was chosen as both teams have a free week, with Coppa Italia quarter-finals scheduled for other clubs. Interestingly, the return fixture between these teams is set for just three days later at San Siro on February 9th.
The situation for Bologna-Milan is slightly different. Originally scheduled for October 25th but postponed due to severe weather in Emilia, this match has been more challenging to reschedule. With Milan’s commitments in the Coppa Italia against Roma on February 5th and their upcoming Champions League playoffs following the defeat in Zagreb, the earliest available date appears to be February 26th. This falls in a week when other Coppa Italia quarter-finals, including Juventus-Empoli and Inter-Lazio, are set to take place.
