Serie A returns this weekend after the break for international duty, with Davide Massa assigned to referee Roma-Inter, Luca Marinelli officiating Milan-Fiorentina and Giovanni Ayroldi for Como-Juventus.
The squads are coming back together for training after travelling all over the world and will be back in action for their clubs for the Week 7 fixtures.
The biggest match without doubt is the battle between Roma and Inter at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday evening.
This has been assigned to veteran referee Massa, with Francesco Meraviglia as the VAR.
Massa’s record with Roma is very balanced with 10 victories, 12 draws and nine defeats.
In comparison, Inter have a much stronger run under this referee, as he oversaw 20 wins, five stalemates and five losses.
There have been some editions of this fixture before with Massa, who was officiating Inter’s 1-0 win away to Roma in October 2024, but also the time the Giallorossi snatched a 2-1 victory at San Siro in October 2022.
