The boss wants his players to put together the same sort of run as they did last season to ensure they end the season on a high note and qualify for the Champions League.
"I have been checking the numbers from where we were last season and you can see that we were much better away from home," said Benitez.
"We have got to improve and that is very clear. But we have got an opportunity tonight and we have got to try and take it. We need to change our record.
"You have to keep a good balance between what you are doing at home and what you are doing away. Recently we've been quite good at home but away it has not been so good."
