Juventus is set to face Atalanta on March 14 after heavy snowfall postponed the clubs' originally scheduled match on the weekend.

Lega Serie A confirmed that the teams will kick off in Turin at 6 p.m. local time (12 p.m. ET).

The Bianconeri were ready to entertain a weakened Atalanta side, with several youth players and journeymen named on Gian Piero Gasperini's team sheet. Regular starters Papu Gomez, Josip Ilicic, and Mattia Caldara were all relegated to the bench after a cruel exit from the Europa League.

The two sides will meet Wednesday in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg, with Juventus protecting a 1-0 advantage on aggregate.

Juventus could only watch on as Napoli extended the gap to four points after a commanding 5-0 victory over Cagliari. Max Allegri's men, however, now have a game in hand.

The rescheduled fixture is sandwiched between reasonably tame matches against relegation battler SPAL and Udinese.
