After the triumphs in Iceland (38-26) and in Guimarães (38-22), the FC Porto handball team returns to Dragão Arena and takes the field again this Tuesday to face HC Kriens-Luzern, in the second round of the European League (7:45 PM, Porto Canal). On the eve of the home match against the Swiss champion – “probably the most difficult in the group stage” – Sebastian Abrahamsson states that the Porto team has “good chances of achieving a good result”, as long as they “follow the plan” and “maintain discipline” for the full 60 minutes.

For the Swedish goalkeeper, “the goal is to win every game”, but “this one will be like a group final and it is “very important to put some pressure” on the Swiss opponent. The cheapest tickets cost 3 euros and are sold at the usual locations.

Moderate Optimism“We have good chances of winning and I have a good feeling about this game. If we follow the plan and maintain discipline, we can achieve a good result.”

The Swiss Champions“I have never faced them, but I watched some videos and realized they have many good players, so it will be a very difficult game, probably the most difficult in the group stage, but if we do what we need to do, we have every chance of winning.”

Shared Leadership“This game will be like a group final, if we beat them at home, we will put some pressure on them for the next game and it will be very important.”

Defined Goal“The goal is to win every game, but in the European League there are several quality teams and at a certain point, it depends a lot on the draw. Even so, we have to think about winning every game and going as far as possible in the competition.”
