Fenerbahçe SK defender, Alexander Djiku, says they aim to record a win against FC Lugano in the second round of qualifiers in the UEFA Champions League.

The Swiss side will host the Turkish giants Stockhorn Arena later tonight in the first leg.

Speaking ahead of the game on Monday, the Ghana international admitted Lugano are a good team but added they are well prepared and gelled very well for the game and will go in seeking nothing but a win.

"Lugano is a really good team. If we look at last season, they finished second in the league and they are a team that can score more goals. We are also looking forward to the match we will play tomorrow," he said.

"We have played friendly matches so far, we have played a lot of friendly matches and we feel very ready. We want to make a good start with the first official match we will play tomorrow. Whether we play at home or away, our aim is to win all our matches.'' he added.

The game has been scheduled to kick off at 18:30GMT.

The 29-year-old since joining the Yellow Canaries last summer has had a fantastic campaign having featured in most of their matches in the just-finished season but they narrowly lost the league title to rivals Galatasaray.
