Marco Piccinini will referee Cagliari vs. Inter, the big match at Unipol Domus on Saturday at 8:45 PM . The Forlì referee will have Vito Mastrodonato (Molfetta) and Davide Moro (Schio) as assistants, with Luca Massimi (Termoli) as fourth official. Daniele Doveri (Roma 1) will be appointed as VAR referee, with Matteo Gariglio (Pinerolo) as assistant.
Piccinini, who turns 42 on September 29, has refereed two matches this season: Sampdoria-Modena 0-2 in Serie B on August 25 and Como-Genoa 1-1 ten days ago. His record against Cagliari has been poor: his only win was on his debut, a 2-1 win against Chievo on October 28, 2018 , followed by just two draws (1-1 against Udinese on December 20, 2020 and 2-2 against Juventus on April 19, 2024, both at home) and nine defeats (the last one on March 16, against Roma, 1-0).
