Holders expect cautious approach from Italians

SUSPENSION-HIT holders Porto expect to face a packed Inter Milan defence in the first leg of tonight’s Champions League knockout round tie at the Estadio De Dragao.

“It will be a very difficult game,” Porto coach Jose Couceiro said yesterday.

“From what I’ve seen the Italian team is counting on resolving the tie in the second leg. (They’re) coming to Porto to play cautious defence and not concede any goals, aiming for a draw.”
