Maya Yoshida hopes Southampton can secure their place in the Europa League knock-out stages with victory against Sparta Prague on Thursday night.
Southampton, who are second in Group K on seven points, travel to leaders Sparta, while third-placed Hapoel Be'er Sheva play struggling Inter Milan.
Hapoel need to win to keep their hopes of qualifying alive, while the Saints are guaranteed to progress if they beat Sparta and the Israeli side lose or draw.
Yoshida told Southampton's club website: "We are almost through to the next round but these winning points are really important for us. We have to make sure we get these points and go through to the next round.
"We already played against (Sparta) at home, so we know about them.
"I think it's going to be very, very tough, especially an away game against them. Maybe a different atmosphere in the stadium. We have to be ready for that."
Southampton beat Sparta 3-0 at St Mary's in September but have found goals harder to come by on their travels, scoring just once in their last eight away games on the continent.
Saints midfielder and Northern Ireland international Steven Davis conceded the team's lack of a cutting edge was a cause for concern.
"We haven't been clinical enough throughout the team and we obviously need to spread that responsibility through the team," he said.
Sparta have not beaten an English team since 1983, when they beat Graham Taylor's Watford 7-2 on aggregate in the UEFA Cup third round.
