Serie A: Milan-Como recovers on February 17th, Inter-Juve on the 13th or 14th

The completion of the Champions League mega group also brings consequences for Milan and Como, two teams that aim to be protagonists in Europe next season. Inter’s place in fact certifies that the Nerazzurri will play the second leg of the playoffs at home (set for 17-18 February and the following week), thus freeing up the 17-18 February slot for the recovery of the 24th matchday of the championship, scheduled for 8 February but with the impossibility of using San Siro due to the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, two days before. This is the match that should have been played in Perth, Australia but which after a long torment of months will instead be played in Italy and in its natural home, even if on a different date.

… and inter-juve

—

Given that Juve will also make the Champions League playoffs, it is practically certain that the Bianconeri’s away match at Inter will not be played on Sunday 15 February but on Friday 13 at 8.45pm or 14 at 6pm, the 8.45pm Saturday slot being also a Sky slot, while Inter-Juve will be broadcast exclusively by Dazn. The two teams will in fact ask to bring forward their championship match regardless of the UEFA draw which this Friday, in addition to their respective opponents, will also establish whether they will have to play the first leg of the Champions League playoff on Tuesday 17th or Wednesday 18th. In theory, Inter-Juve could also be played on Friday at 8.45pm as the two teams have no commitments that week (they will play their respective quarter-finals of the Italian Cup next week), but this will depend on their possible commitment to the Champions League on the following Tuesday. Advances and postponements will be made official by the League by next weekend.
