Teams

Format

In the first round the teams were divided into two groups, each containing respectively four and five teams. Each team played every other team in its group at home and away. The top three teams from each group advanced to the second round. The teams that finished fourth and fifth in their group play additionally in a qualification group to determine two additional participants to the second round. The eight remaining teams are again separated into two groups with four teams each. The teams that already have played during the first round kept the results between them from the first stage and played with the two remaining teams from the other group home and away games. The winners of both groups, as well the runners-up advanced to the semifinals. In them they play in home and away elimination games.
