As a consequence and according to the rules of the Football Association of Slovenia, they played the 2012 Supercup against the runners-up of the PrvaLiga, Olimpija.

Berić scored the first goal for the home side in the 47th minute, with Dejan Mezga adding the second one in the 67th, from penalty.

Berić, who was man of the match, scored his second goal in the 76th minute, giving his side a 3–1 lead.

Their plans for an early lead were shattered, however, when Ibraimi scored from a long range effort in the 20th minute, which was the only goal during the first half.

Second half started poorly for the Bosnians when Čolić received his second booking and was subsequently sent off.

In the third qualifying round, Maribor faced Dudelange from Luxembourg, a team which made a big upset by eliminating Austrian champions Salzburg.

During the 2011–12 season Maribor played against them in the second qualifying round of the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League and was successful with two victories and the score 5–1 aggregate.

Being fully aware that a two-legged victory over Dudelange secures, at least, the UEFA Europa League group stages, Maribor players started their home match strong and quickly took the lead with a free kick goal by Mezga.

In the 77th minute Berić continued his good form, having scored his third goal in as many 2012–13 UEFA qualifying matches.

One week later, Maribor again proved too strong for the Luxembourg champions and won 1–0, with the goal by Aleš Mertelj in the 79th minute.

Right at the end, Sammir had a chance to increase the lead for the home team, however, his free-kick attempt narrowly missed the target.

Dinamo thus won 3–1 on aggregate and advanced to the Champions league group stages for the second successive season.

Despite the defeat, Maribor made it to the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.
