Referee Daniele Orsato has been assigned to officiate the upcoming Derby della Capitale between Roma and Lazio.
The Biancocelesti will be desperate to secure all three points against their bitter rivals on the weekend, keen to maintain momentum as they stay in the race for the Champions League loss. The 3-1 loss to Salernitana upset the balance a little but Maurizio Sarri will be hoping for a positive response from his squad.
