SNS GroupFalkirk manager John McGlynn told his players to maintain the tempo against Spartans and seal their place in the League Cup second round.
The Premiership newcomers came from behind to beat Queen’s Park 3-1 on Tuesday thanks to a double from Ethan Ross and a late strike from Brian Graham.
The victory moved them top of Group A, but Cove Rangers are only a point behind and Spartans can leapfrog them if they pull off a shock at the Falkirk Stadium on Saturday.
“We know what we need,” McGlynn told Falkirk TV. “We need to win the game to guarantee qualification and if we get to 11 points, who knows? We might creep into a seeded position going into the draw.
“However, first and foremost we have to take care of Spartans. They are well-coached, Dougie Samuels, everyone there, very experienced team. They will prepare to make it very difficult for us.
“We have got to play at a tempo that hopefully they can’t handle.”
