Two clubs in opposite halves of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Inter Milan and Udinese. The first-division clash scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET will be held at the San Siro in Milan and can be live streamed here free.
After suffering a defeat to Atalanta at the weekend, Inter Milan find themselves just one tiebreaker away from falling out of the final automatic European spot in the Serie A table. With Udinese visiting the San Siro this afternoon, manager Walter Mazzarri wants an immediate response from his men (h/t to Alex Meyers of the Sports Mole). "Our match with Udinese is laden with pitfalls - just like the Atalanta game was," Mazzarri told reporters. "It's tough against certain teams and certain coaches because they're very good and because they know how to make things difficult for you, being able to play for two out of three results," he added.
"Inter are used to facing games like that. We'll have to be better, and a bit more lucky, at taking the game to them from the off and trying to get an early goal."
