Serie A Match Delayed Due to Heavy Rainfall at Gewiss Stadium

The Serie A match scheduled for Monday night has been temporarily delayed following a last-minute pitch inspection at the Gewiss Stadium. The inspection was prompted by heavy rainfall in the region, resulting in unsafe playing conditions on the field.

Ground staff at the Gewiss Stadium are actively working to resolve the situation, but the possibility of the game being called off is increasing. Reports suggest the pitch remains waterlogged, and according to on-site officials, the ball exhibits minimal to no bounce upon impact with the surface.

An updated pitch inspection is set to take place at 20:15 BST. The match between Como and Atalanta was originally planned to kick off at 19:45. Despite the inclement weather, Como’s players had gathered in the tunnel, demonstrating their readiness to compete, subject to a decision prioritizing safety.

Como is particularly eager to proceed with the game, as they are in search of their first win of the Serie A season. Under the leadership of Cesc Fabregas, the team is in 19th place, with just one point accumulated from their first four matches.

Meanwhile, a victory for Atalanta in tonight’s fixture has the potential to elevate them significantly in the standings, possibly reaching between fourth and sixth place in the Serie A table.
