Davide Massa will be the referee for Bologna v Napoli, assisted by Meli and Alassio, with Sacchi acting as fourth official and Marini and Abisso on VAR duty.
It will be Massa's 219th time in charge of a Serie A match and his 15th this season.
He has overseen two previous Bologna v Napoli fixtures, both of which were won by the away side at the Stadio Dall’Ara: 3-0 on 8 May 2013 and 7-1 on 4 February 2017.
Bologna have played 21 Serie A games with Massa in charge, winning eight, drawing five and losing eight. They are unbeaten in the last five of these, including the only one in the current campaign – a 2-1 win away to Monza 22 September.
Napoli's previous league matches with this referee have yielded 15 wins, four draws and five defeats. This season he officiated the Azzurri's 1-0 home win against Roma on 24 November (1-0) and the 2-2 draw at Lazio on 15 February.
