Referee Maurizio Mariani will be in charge of Saturday’s Serie A blockbuster clash between Napoli and Inter Milan.

As confirmed by Lega Serie A via FCInterNews, Paolo Mazzoleni will be on VAR duty for the match.

Inter Milan will take on Napoli in a mouth-watering Serie A top-four six-pointer this weekend.

Indeed, there is nothing but goal difference to separate the sides ahead of the kick-off.

However, the visitors look in far better shape after demolishing Royale Union SG 4-0 in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Antonio Conte’s side slipped to a disastrous 6-2 defeat at PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday.

The referee for Saturday evening’s match will be Maurizio Mariani.

Furthermore, Serie A has decided to suspend Livio Marinelli and Rosario Abisso for their blunders in AC Milan’s home win over Fiorentina last Sunday.

Elsewhere, Mariani is preparing to officiate in only his second top-flight match of the season.

Indeed, he was in charge of a 1-1 draw between Parma and Atalanta on Match Day 2.

Inter head into proceedings amid a purple patch, having won their last seven competitive matches in a row.

Moreover, the Nerazzurri squeezed past Roma last weekend to climb to second in the Serie A standings.
