Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin goes into Tuesday's visit to Hibernian with "strong belief" as his team embark on the first of three successive away games.
The Dons have been victorious in four of their eight league games on the road this term. Only Hearts (six) and Celtic (five) have won more.
They put in a disappointing performance when the sides last met, losing 2-1 at Pittodrie in October.
But Thelin is optimistic sixth-placed Aberdeen can fare better this time round against opponents who are three points above them in the table.
Following Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Dundee United, the Swede said: "We have to put this game behind us. Of course it was important to take all three points but we didn't and now we have to catch these points in some way away.
"We know Hibs are good in what they are doing and how they play and the last game at home was not in our favour so we have to do some parts better.
"But I have strong belief. I think our away games so far have been okay and I think we can do a good game on Tuesday.
"I think it is going to be a different kind of game, but we are up for the challenge and I also think we can threaten them.
"I think it is going to be a quite open game so let's see."
