Bristol City do not mind going to Sheffield United on Tuesday night as underdogs said midfielder Scott Twine.
The Blades - who remain second in the Championship - have the second best home record in the league, having lost only three out of 18 games at Bramall Lane this season.
"We don't mind that. We've played lots of games this season where we've not necessarily been favourites and we've played well, and last season as well," Twine told BBC Radio Bristol.
"We're confident as a group going into any game so we'll be looking forward to that."
The trip to Sheffield is the second of three games Bristol City face in seven days. They were frustratingly held to 1-1 by 10-man Hull on Saturday and are set to host Norwich at home on Friday, 14 March.
The Robins remain right in the play-off mix, sitting seventh, two points outside the top six.
"We feel we're playing well. There's times we feel like we could have got more points but I suppose every team could say that," Twine said.
Assistant manager Chris Hogg said the team need to start the match on the front foot on Tuesday, after the Tigers dominated possession during the first 10 minutes of their previous game and had four shots on target.
The Sheffield United game is the first of 10 left of the regular season as Bristol City look to finish in the top six for the first time since 2007-08.
"This point in the season, where every point matters, it's a really good game for us to go into and we're going to have to show our resilience, show our belief," Hogg told BBC Radio Bristol.
"If you look at [us against Hull], we never started the day with our intent and our usual purpose. It gives us a chance to go there and start the game properly on Tuesday."
