FC Zurich travel to France for Tuesday's Champions League match against Olympique de Marseille, and the Swiss champions are full of confidence ahead of the important game.
"I've taken the positives out of our two most recent league games," coach Bernardo Challandes told a pre-match press conference. "We dominated, but I'm not pleased that we only took two points. I'm confident because of how those games went and how we played, we only need more accuracy.
"It's true we play better away from home, but it's not an advantage to play at Marseille's Stade Velodrome. If we start well and the crowd start putting pressure on the Marseille players, it could get interesting.
"We're halfway through the group stage and have the chance to do well, thanks to our victory in Milan. We need three more points and then we'll ensure there's suspense right to the end. The match [on Wednesday] will be hard.
"At home, two weeks ago, we didn't choose to play defensive football; Marseille were strong. As a little Swiss side, we don't want to be eaten out there. One chance can be enough."
Both Zurich and Marseille have collected three points from their initial three Champions League games.
