Two clubs in opposite halves of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Cagliari and AC Milan. The first-division clash scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET will be held at Sant'Elia Stadium in Cagliari and can be live streamed here free.

What They're Saying

Cagliari manager Zdenek Zeman (via Football Italia): "I hope and think that the fans will help us. Until now, supporters have always been on our side, but we haven't taken advantage of this so far."

"In attack, Milan can boast important players like [Jeremy] Menez, [Fernando] Torres and [Stephan] El Shaarawy," he added. "But also in midfield they have people like [Nigel] de Jong who always defends well. Inzaghi is a good guy. He is willing to work well and I am sure that he will obtain good results. Hopefully, from Thursday onwards."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: AC Milan's Keisuke Honda has been in scintillating form this season. In eight league appearances, the 28-year-old has six goals and two assists.
