Michael Fabbri has been handed Como vs. AS Roma, the standout Serie A fixture of Week 6, with Matteo Gariglio in the VAR booth. The appointment lands on a game that matters at the top of the table too, because Como are sitting just one point behind Roma. Roma are first with 13 points from 5 matches, while Como are eighth with 10 from 5.
The marquee appointment
The referee list puts Fabbri on the weekend's biggest game, and that is the appointment most likely to draw the most attention. Football Italia reported that the League returns after the long break for international duty and goes straight into a match between joint leaders Roma and a Como side close behind them.
Gariglio's role on VAR rounds out the headline assignment, and the table makes the choice easy to understand. Roma arrive with 13 points from 5 matches, while Como have taken 10 points from 5.
The other headline fixtures
Kevin Bonacina has been assigned to Inter vs. Parma, which also carries a clear storyline because it will be Alberto Gilardino's debut as Parma coach. Inter sit second in Serie A with 13 points from 5 matches, while Parma are 15th with 4 points from 5.
Ermanno Feliciani will oversee Napoli vs. Frosinone. Napoli are ninth with 7 points from 5 matches, so Week 6 gives the referees a spread of assignments that reaches from the title end of the table to the lower half.
