(Chai! My heart dey bleed for them!). Di last wey dem play end for 5-1 against Marseille, and dem don dey struggle seriously throughout di season.
Porto dey gi dem pressure as dem plan to make am happen for home, knowing say their away form no dey carry weight. (Life no dey easy if your defence dey leak like sieve o!). Na so dem don win six out of their last seven home matches, turning Estadio do Dragao to impenetrable fortress.
Meanwhile, Nice fans dey pray say their collective efforts go yield fruit as dem welcome back some players from injury. But dem still dey miss key players wey fit help turn di tide. (Di team get issues, but who no get for this life?).
FC Porto predicted lineup go likely include Diogo Costa for goal and Pepe for man-in-action at defence. For attack, dem dey look up to the young guns wey don already net two goals before now. E go b interesting if dem fit bring their A-game come this match, as Nice go try finally break di jinx wey dey follow dem.
Di Nice coach, Francesco Farioli, go sabi say e hand full as dem need to show maximum effort to avoid another embarrassing defeat. Na time to shine or go home wey dem dey face, as dem must perform under pressure. (Wetin dem talk? Na pressure wey go bring fine wine!).
As dem dey ready for di match, e good to note say Porto dey expected to claim victory amid all odds. Di way dem dey perform e no clear dem fall, just be say dem dey knock for doors wey dey show dem sign of success. (After all, na quality we dey talk about here!).
