Magdeburg defeated BFC Dynamo 3-0, Zurich 4-0, and Norwich 1-0, drew with Bayern II and Bochum, and in the last friendly, they lost at home to Sampdoria 2-4.

Horst Steffen's team did not fare much better than their opponents in the first round last season. They finished 11th in the standings, collecting 43 points in 34 matches. Elversberg was 11 points clear of the relegation zone. In their last five official matches, Elversberg managed only one victory, with three defeats.

During the summer preseason, Horst Steffen's charges played five friendly matches but were not particularly impressive. They only defeated Eupen 4-1, while losing at home to Fortuna (0-1) and Hoffenheim (1-3). In their final preseason match, Elversberg drew 1-1 with Viktoria Köln at home.
