The first of the three cup finals is on Saturday afternoon in West London, against a team who won at The Valley when they were struggling at the bottom of the Championship.
Boss Pardew is pleased with his side's last two performances, and feels that they can pick up three points at Loftus Road.
"I thought we put in two great performances against Plymouth and Southampton. We just need to take that into our next two away games and there's no reason why we can't win them both" said Pardew.
"Our away form has kept us in the hunt for promotion. Our home form has unfortunately been average and that's what has cost us this season. So lets home we can improve our away form over the next two away games, beat Coventry City at The Valley and then see where we are.
"We've got a fighting chance but we have to win to be in it on Saturday, it's as simple as that. The only thing we can do is win the games that remain. I don't expect anything less."
