Two clubs in opposite halves of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Inter Milan and Cagliari. The first-division clash scheduled for 9 a.m. ET will be held at the San Siro in Milan and can be live streamed here free.
Inter Milan defender Dodo had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Football Italia): "I've always had this competitive meanness, and when you have players with such an important character around you like Juan Jesus and [Gary] Medel, they inspire you. We're happy in each other's company, and this is important."
