Referee Matteo Marchetti will be in charge of Inter Milan’s Serie A match against Atalanta on Friday evening.

The Lega Serie A confirm all of the official teams for this round of fixtures, via FCInterNews. Valerio Marini will be on VAR duty.

On Friday, Inter play their third match of the Serie A, and their last before the international break.

The Nerazzurri host Atalanta in the second match of the weekend after Venezia take on Torino.

And Friday’s match at the San Siro will be the first “direct clash” in Serie A this season.

Last season’s champions Inter will host last season’s fourth place team Atalanta.

La Dea have become regulars in the top spots of the Serie A table under Gian Piero Gasperini. Last season they won their first trophy under the former Inter and Genoa coach, the Europa League.

Therefore, Friday’s match will be Inter’s most difficult of the season to date. At least on paper.

The Nerazzurri won their last match in Serie A, beating Lecce. This followed an opening day draw against Genoa.

Atalanta, meanwhile, beat Lecce 4-0 on opening day. But then they fell to a surprise loss to Torino in their second match of the season.

Friday’s match already has the feel of a fixture that could have implications for the Champions League places and the title race in Serie A.
