The first leg of the Europa League Round of 16 kicks off in Portugal on Thursday at 18.00 UK time.
“We always play to win and tomorrow will be no different,” said Pipita in his Press conference.
“It is very important to score when playing away from home, but we know that it may well be more difficult here.
“Jackson Martinez is a very strong forward, but our defenders know how to stop him. They will do their best to keep him quiet.
“The defensive phase of the game will be crucial, because Porto are very dangerous in attack.”
Higuain was asked about Marek Hamsik’s on-going poor form since his injury problems at the end of 2013.
“Hamsik is a fundamental player who is very important for us. He needs to stay calm, because he has the faith of his Coach and his teammates.
“After all, if we were able to play in the Champions League then it was thanks also to his performances last season.”
