For the final pre-season friendly, FCSP head coach Alexander Blessin made two changes to his starting line-up compared to the friendly at Coventry City. Adam Dźwigała came in for David Nemeth, who was sidelined with a groin problem. In addition, Danel Sinani started in place of Oladapo Afolayan. Central defender Jannik Robatsch missed the game due to illness.

The Boys in Brown began their pre-season preparations just over a week ago, among them goalkeeper Simon Spari. One of eight new recruits, he moved to the Millerntor from Austria Klagenfurt. After training on Friday, Spari took time out to answer questions from the media.
