Francesco Farioli did not guarantee the presence of Diogo Costa in the final matchday of the Europa League group stage, against Rangers – the goalkeeper is suffering from a fever syndrome. The coach emphasized that the Scots arrive at Estádio do Dragão in excellent form.

Farioli considered the match important, decisive for the competition and for managing the upcoming weeks, and highlighted his team’s high motivation, while noting that the opponent is on an eight-game winning streak.

Regarding the starting lineup: Diogo has a fever and it will only be known if he recovers in time; if not, Cláudio Ramos is ready to take the position. Rodrigo Mora is available to start the game.

As for the fact that the opponent is already eliminated from the competition, the coach expects them to field their best eleven and fight for the best result. He anticipates a very competitive, demanding, and intense match, and stated that the team is prepared for the worst-case scenario, facing two teams eager to win.
