Local authorities say Genoa–Napoli will go ahead despite flood warnings, although the state of the pitch remains to be seen.
There were reports the 14.00 GMT kick-off would be postponed due to an incoming storm that is a knock-on effect from Hurricane Sandy.
The city of Genoa is in lockdown until 12.00 GMT after it was devastated by floods during a similar storm a year ago.
“We have no information that would suggest the game will be called off,” assured local authorities this morning.
