Serie A has confirmed its matchday 11 referee appointments, with Pairetto assigned to Napoli-Lazio and Colombo set for Fiorentina-Juventus. The official list also includes Venezia-Udinese on Friday night, with the weekend's other appointments now in place.
Napoli-Lazio and the top of the table
Sunday 8 November, 12:30 Napoli-Lazio will be refereed by Pairetto, with Tegoni and Perrotti as assistants, Marinelli as fourth official, Aureliano on VAR and Mazzoleni on AVAR. The fixture lands with Lazio top of Serie A on 28 points from 10 matches, while Napoli are eighth on 14 points from 10 matches.
That makes the appointment one of the most closely watched on the weekend card. Napoli's league position and Lazio's current run of five straight wins give the match a different weight from the average Sunday lunchtime fixture.
Fiorentina-Juventus closes the weekend
Sunday 8 November, 20:45 Fiorentina-Juventus will be refereed by Colombo, with Baccini and Ceccon as assistants, Maresca as fourth official, Di Paolo on VAR and Meraviglia on AVAR. Fiorentina come into the game 16th in Serie A with 8 points from 10 matches, while Juventus are seventh with 17 points from 10 matches.
The other headline appointment in the release is Friday 6 November, 20:45 Venezia-Udinese, which goes to Sacchi J.L. with Imperiale and Mondin as assistants, Bonacina as fourth official, Gariglio on VAR and Pezzuto on AVAR. Saturday's list also includes Roma-Sassuolo and Parma-Bologna, but the focus will stay on the two Sunday fixtures, where the referee assignments now sit alongside the league pressure already building around both games.
