Spartak Moscow welcomes Udinese to Luzhniki Stadium

Michael Laudrup's Spartak Moscow welcomes Serie A Udinese to Luzhniki Stadium in the UEFA Cup later this evening. Confidence is soaring after Myaso's stunning defeat of CSKA Moscow and well on their way for a late charge in a European bid. Since signing-on with Spartak, Michael Laudrup has turned the clubs fortune and they are showing no signs of letting up.

However in this match they will be facing a tough Udinese club that looks poised for a top finish in the Serie A with one of the best attacks in Italy. Their only loss this season came in the second week against Juventus and since have shown no-signs of letting up.

Spartak is reporting that it is fully-fit whilst Udinese will be without Antonio Di Natale. With the temperatures dipping, the weather could play an important role in this match. Of the days UEFA Cup matches, this is possibly the most exciting as it features two evenly matched clubs that will attack relentlessly.

I will report upon the match as it concludes.
