Hearts of Oak coach Herbert Addo says his side will attack AS Police on Saturday in the return leg of their 2015 CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round qualifier.

The Phobians go into the second leg with a slender 1-0 advantage and it is expected will play it tight to reach the next round.

But Addo remains defiant and says his side will not park the buses against the side from Benin.

"My plan for playing continental teams away from home is to attack, attack and attack. It is always the best strategy for me because when you go attacking, your opponents have no opportunities to attack but defend," Addo said.

"Our host can best be described as a balanced side. I have not seen much of them except the first leg in Accra.

"Per what we saw, we have nothing to fear though their record as I researched means they are a team that concede few goals and score few in equal measure. We have a good chance of qualifying to the next stage."

Hearts have been unimpressive at home as they lie 12th in the league
