Despite enduring a difficult campaign last term, this was a fixture that the Buddies enjoyed, winning on both of their visits to the Falkirk Stadium.
While the Bairns exceeded expectations last season, they have lost a number of key players over the summer and are now facing a period of transition.
There have already been signs of that during the Scottish League Cup, with Falkirk losing 1-0 at home to Ayr before being held to a 1-1 draw at Alloa.
John McGlynn’s side like to play on the front foot, but that attacking approach can leave gaps defensively, something that became increasingly apparent towards the end of last season.
Indeed, Falkirk failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 of their final 13 Scottish Premiership matches last term.
