Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille are scheduled to face each other this Sunday, September 21 at the Stade Vélodrome at 8:45 PM (CET), as part of matchday 5 of Ligue 1. However, the match could be postponed due to predicted thunderstorms. This is what L’Équipe reported on Saturday.
“The possibility of a postponement is still on the table at the LFP headquarters. According to the weather forecast from Météo France, weather conditions could deteriorate in the early evening with rain and severe thunderstorms.”
Unfortunately, this has been a potential issue for several days, given the forecast of terrible weather in Marseille on Sunday evening. The safety of the fans, those around the stadium, and the players themselves must be considered.
While a postponement is always inconvenient, especially given the difficulty of finding another date, particularly on a weekend, safety remains the priority, along with ensuring a playable pitch for a fair match. We’ll have to wait for the final decision; nothing is yet certain. A decision is expected tomorrow evening.
