Official: Guida to officiate Lazio-Milan in Coppa Italia Round of 16 clash

This afternoon, AC Milan and Lazio have found out who will be officiating their Coppa Italia clash on Thursday night. 

On Saturday night, Milan vs. Lazio was the host for a controversial game for the officials. A penalty call led to increased scrutiny, and now the VAR chief will be sent to Serie B after a two-game suspension, it seems.

So, with the two sides meeting again in midweek, there will be a bit more scrutiny on their rematch, with a perfect game needed from the officials, really.

Guida selected to officiate

So, as the Lega Serie A website confirms, the officiating appointments have been made and Marco Guida will lead the Round of 16 tie on Thursday; he will be supported by Lo Cicero and Dei Giudici, whilst Pezzuto will be in charge of VAR.

Considering his controversial incident with Alexis Saelemaekers recently, there will be some who may question this decision. Nevertheless, it is a big appointment for the game where there cannot really be any mistakes.

He has been in charge of two games involving Milan so far this season, with the Roma win, of course, being one. Then, he was the official in the game against Juventus.
