Hmm, according to the Einstein there is no way they can know it is coming. Information cannot travel faster than light -- or it can cause all kinds of temporal paradoxes.
You can still try to predict what the enemy ship will do however, e.g. by observing its actions and trying to reverse-engineer its navigational software
