Accounting Assistant

Tomorrow I have an interview for the Job that I want. $63k-75k is what they disclosed in the first interview that they are willing to pay for the role.but on the Job posting they have $63k-98k. I personally would feel more comfortable taking the role at $80k plus. Would it be wrong for me negotiate saying that I was looking for something in the $80k's? How would you appro it?
