This will be the first time that Marco Guida has been the man in the middle for a match involving both sides, so we’ll simply look at his record from recent years.

His record last season:

Matches: 7
Yellow Cards: 23 (3.29)
Red Cards: 0

Marco Guida oversaw a total of 7 matches last season, 5 of which were in the Seria A. He brandished just 23 yellow cards in those matches and no red cards, with his highest card count being in the match between Inter Milan and Lazio (3-1) when he showed 6 yellow cards at the Giuseppe Meazza.

So far this season:

Matches: 5
Yellow Cards: 14 (2.80)
Red Cards: 1

Guida has been the man with the whistle on five occasions so far this season, showing 14 yellow cards and 1 red card. His only red card of the season came in his first match of the season between Galatasaray and NK Olimpija Ljubljana in the Champions League (1-0) at the Turk Telekom Arena. Former Arsenal player Lucas Torreira was the player sent off in that match.
