Serie A has officially appointed the referees for the fourth matchday of the championship, with Fabio Maresca assigned to officiate the Torino vs AS Roma match. The news was reported by ANSA Sport this Wednesday, confirming the appointments for all the upcoming round's fixtures. Daniele De Rossi's side, currently leading the table with 9 points from three wins, will face Torino at the Grande Torino on Sunday, September 14. The Giallorossi approach the match with a record of 10 goals scored and just one conceded, showcasing a defensive solidity that has made them the sole leaders.
Who will referee Torino vs AS Roma
The task of officiating the match between Torino and AS Roma has been given to Fabio Maresca. The referee from Naples will be assisted by linesmen Filippo Meli and Alessandro Costanzo. Matteo Gariglio will be the fourth official, while the VAR will be managed by Luca Pairetto with Davide Ghersini as his assistant. Maresca has previously refereed several Roma matches, giving him good knowledge of the club's environment and dynamics. His last appointment for a Giallorossi game dates back to last season, in a different context from the current one that sees Roma atop the standings.
The other matchday appointments
Beyond Torino-Roma, the fourth Serie A matchday will feature other important clashes with experienced referees. For the big match between Lazio and Milan, Simone Marcenaro from the Genoa section has been chosen. Marcenaro will be assisted by Daniele Bindoni and Giovanni Baccini, with Antonio Giua as the fourth official. The VAR will be entrusted to Marco Di Bello, supported by Fabio Maresca in an unusual role. Another notable appointment is Luca Pairetto for Inter-Udinese, a match scheduled for Saturday evening at San Siro. These nominations complete the picture of match officials for a round that promises excitement.
AS Roma's league context
AS Roma arrives at the Torino appointment in excellent form. After three matchdays, the Giallorossi lead Serie A with a perfect points tally, having won all their matches played so far. Their offensive output is notable, averaging over three goals per game, while the defense has conceded only once. This makes De Rossi's team the most in-form side in the league, with a +9 goal difference setting them apart from the chasing pack. The next challenge against Torino, currently 13th in the table, represents another test to overcome to maintain the top spot.

Preparation for the trip to Torino
The team is preparing thoroughly for the trip to the Grande Torino, a traditionally difficult venue for any opponent.

For the Giallorossi, it will be important to confirm the defensive solidity shown so far, while also capitalizing on the goal-scoring chances that arise. Roma has won its last three matches with a consistency of performance few expected at the start of the campaign.
