As announced by the AIA in recent days, it will be Federico La Penna who will referee the highly anticipated Derby d’Italia this evening between Inter-Juventus. A top-of-the-table match and certainly important both for the title race and the heated battle for the Champions League spots. The match is scheduled for this evening with kick-off at 8:45 PM at San Siro.
La Penna, in his first Derby d’Italia, will be assisted on the field by Meli and Alassio, with Doveri serving as the fourth official. VAR will be entrusted to Chiffi, who will be assisted by Abisso. For the referee from the Rome section, it will be a match of great responsibility, not only because of the historic rivalry between the two teams, but also due to the recent refereeing controversies involving the Bianconeri.
As for previous encounters, La Penna has already officiated 11 matches played by Inter in his career: a record that clearly favors the Nerazzurri, as shown by the nine victories achieved compared to just one defeat and one draw.
