If the scores are level after 90 minutes on Tuesday, there will be no extra-time and the match will go straight to a penalty shoot-out.
Dean Wilkins takes charge of Tuesday's game as Saints kick off their defence of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
New signing Guly do Prado may be involved following on from the late run out the Brazilian got in the 4-0 win at Bristol on Saturday.
Dan Seaborne is making good progress on a return, but Lee Holmes, who missed the weekend's match is still likely be on the sidelines with Frazer Richardson.
