The Dragons are “prepared and excited” to host Norway’s Elverum (Tuesday, 7:45pm, Porto Canal), an opponent that “needs to earn points in order to advance.”
In the lead-up to the fourth-round match, Mamadou Diocou spoke on behalf of the group, describing them as having a “will to fight” and stating that they will “give their all” to confirm qualification. He also made an appeal to Porto fans who will be attending the game: “Come with energy to support us.”
