Jorge Jesus says that Benfica will be looking for a vital away goal against Fenerbahce at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium this evening.

Benfica coach Jorge Jesus has said that he will not set his team up any differently against Fenerbahce, despite being away from home.

The Portuguese team make the trip to the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie this evening, but the 58-year-old dismissed the notion that his side will try to contain their opponents.

However, he also warned caution against the Turkish outfit's better players, stating that Aykut Kocaman possesses plenty of attacking talent within his ranks.

"We always try to attack dangerously with our fast players," Jesus told reporters. "Our mentality is to try to score everywhere we go, even if we are playing away. Therefore, we won't change our outlook.

"We are playing better at home than away. We always find a way to score at home. The important thing is, can we score here? We will play to score at least one goal.

"They are very dangerous in attack – we should be careful. We all know Brazilian midfielder Cristian and the skill he possesses. [Dirk] Kuyt was at Liverpool before Fenerbahce and is a well-known player, and Moussa Sow scored a lot of goals for Lille – he is a very powerful forward."

Aguias defeated Newcastle United in the quarter-finals.
