Empoli-Udinese will be refereed by Livio Marinelli. The Azzurri are the team most refereed so far by the referee from Tivoli, with whom they have a perfectly even record: 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. The last precedent dates back to the third day of this championship in the 1-1 draw in Bologna. The last success dates back to April 24, 2022 on the occasion of the sensational home comeback against Napoli from 0-2 to 3-2 in the final. Since then, Empoli has had it another five times with 3 defeats and 2 draws (in addition to the one already mentioned with Bologna there is the one at the Stadium against Juventus). With Marinelli, Empoli has seen one penalty awarded in favor and two against, receiving three expulsions compared to the two combined for the opponents.
