Hello and welcome to Eurosport UK’s live minute-by-minute of Udinese vs Cagliari from the Stadio Friuli.

It's whipped in and Danilo gets a head on it. It bounces off the chest of Flores and goes inches wide of the near post.

Udinese get the match underway. Nainggolan immediately commits the foul and it's a freekick from out wide. Dangerous...

Cagliari though have lost just one of their last seven Serie A games, and are unbeaten in the last three. However, the Sardinians are winless in their last four away games (two draws, two losses), and have scored only one goal in the process. This doesn’t sound like a match made in goal heaven.

Against AC Milan, Udinese lost their first game of the season at the Friuli last weekend. It ended aan unbeaten run at home of 13 games. In fact, Udinese have the best home record of any side in Serie A, on 31 points.

Antonio Di Natale, current Serie A top-scorer on 17 goals, has been directly involved in 65% of his side’s 34 total goals,if you take into account his five assists. He's injured tonight and out for the next few games, so Udinese might struggle here tonight.

The teams are in – Udinese: Handanovic, Basta, Danilo, Benatia, Domizzi, Armero, Pazienza, Fernandes, Abdi, Torje, Floro Flores. Subs: Barreto, Coda, Battocchio, Padelli, Pasquale, Fabbrini, Ferronetti///Cagliari: Agazzi, Canini, Pisano, Agostini, Astori, Dessena, Nainggolan, Ekdal, Cossu, Pinilla, Ribeiro.

Fourth-placed Udinese have been hit with two major injury blows. Star striker Antonio Di Natale and midfield general Mauricio Isla both came off in the 2-1 defeat to Milan last weekend: Isla is out for the season after a knee op, while Di Natale - who has scored 17 Serie A goals this term - faces up to a month out with a foot injury.
