JORGE JESUS is confident Benfica can combat an 'aggressive' approach from Rangers.

Victory at Ibrox could be enough to clinch a knockout round berth with two Group D matches to go this term.

Steven Gerrard's side squandered a two-goal lead in Lisbon last time out and Jesus is expecting a tough tie.

He said: "Rangers are a well known team in Portugal. They played Braga and Porto last season. They have kept all of their best players and the coach is the same.

"The players have been together for almost three years working on aggressive system, which is not easy to stop. They have scored a lot of goals at home and we are prepared for difficulties defensively.

"But we are also ready to be strong attacking and it will be Rangers' responsibility to stop us when we have the ball.

"I am sure it will be a balance game, with two attacking teams and many players playing up against defenders."
