Referee Federico La Penna has been appointed to officiate Sunday’s Serie A match between Inter Milan and Napoli.
This is reported by the Lega Serie A, FCInterNews. La league announces the full refereeing team for the last circular before the foreign break. Aleandro Di Paolo will be in charge of the VAR.
Inter will play their last league game before the international break on Sunday.
The Nerazzurri will host the Italian champions of the season at San Siro.
Last season, Partenopei marched towards Serie A name with a huge margin of victory. Meanwhile, Inter have been through a very eventful league campaign.
But this time, the conditions of the two are very opposite.
It is Inter who now have a huge merit of sixteen points at the top of the Serie A table.
Napoli, on the other hand, have plenty of catching up to do in their quest for a top-four spot.
The Partenopei have already coached twice this season.
So maybe on paper Inter are the favourites. In addition, in the last match at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium they beat Napoli 3-0.
But Inter probably wouldn’t take anything for granted.
Napoli are still a formidable team with plenty of quality players and have no shortage of motivation to climb up the table and bounce back from their Champions League exit with a result.
The referee for Sunday’s match will be Federico La Penna.
Alessio Berti and Giuseppe Perrotti will assist La Penna in its duties.
The fourth official position will fall to Ermanno Feliciani.
In the VAR booth, Aleandro Di Paolo will oversee the adjustment so that errors made by the referees on the pitch are corrected.
Paolo Valeri will assist Di Paolo in his duties.
Inter will be hoping that the focus will be more on the action on the pitch than on the refereeing controversy.
