Klose, who won the Golden Boot at the World Cup, could be forgiven for thinking about swelling his goals tally of 31 in 63 internationals but the Werder Bremen forward is not getting overconfident.

"We want to win this game and that is all that counts. I am not thinking of scoring three or four goals myself," Klose said at Monday's press conference.

"San Marino will be compact and defend in numbers but we already know that. It is up to us to break them down and we will not make the mistake of underestimating them."

Germany defeated the Republic of Ireland 1-0 in their opening Euro 2008 qualifier on Saturday and Klose hopes for a more convincing display against San Marino.

"It was difficult against Ireland and we did not do everything we wanted to," Klose admitted.

"If we had scored early on it could have been a comfortable victory so we hope it goes better against San Marino in that respect.

"Victory by a few clear goals would be ideal but it all depends on how early the breakthrough comes."

It is Germany's first competitive away match in over two years - with the last being their 2-1 Euro 2004 group defeat to the Czech Republic in Lisbon - and Klose acknowledges the team need to get used to not having the home fans that spurred them on at the World Cup.

"It is all so different after the World Cup and we have to get used to playing abroad," the 28-year-old added.

"I do not know how many spectators will be there but it will not be like a home game, that is for sure."
