Aberdeen's Ryan Jack is confident his team can make amends against Queen of the South second time around after being held to a shock draw in their cup encounter on Saturday.
The Dons had to come from behind to earn a replay at Palmerston after the 1-1 stalemate in their William Hill Scottish Cup tie at Pittodrie.
Craig Brown's men were booed off the park by the home support, who saw their team knocked out of the Scottish Communities League Cup by Second Division outfit East Fife earlier this season.
Jack said: "There is obviously a certain level of expectation with the fans up here and we should be beating Queen of the South at home. But they were never going to come here and lay down - they came here with a gameplan and it never went for us on the day."
However the 19-year-old believes the Dons can avoid another cup shock when the sides meet again a week on Tuesday.
He added: "It will be a tough game to go down there for a replay. We are still in the cup and we have the next round to look forward to if we can go and put it right for drawing up here. It was frustrating that they put everyone behind the ball and made it hard to break them down but sometimes that is what you come up against. It is up to us to create things and score and hopefully we can put it right down there."
