Play-offs

In the play-off for Champions League, the teams play each other in a home and away round robin. However, they do not all start with 0 points. Instead, a weighting system applies to the teams' standing at the start of the play-off mini-league. The team finishing fifth in the Super League will start the play-off with 0 points. The fifth placed team's end of season tally of points is subtracted from the sum of the points that other teams have. This number is then divided by five to give the other teams the points with which they start the mini-league. The teams started the play-offs with the following number of points: * Olympiacos – 4 points ''((64–46) / 5 = 3.6, rounded up to 4)'' * PAOK – 3 points ''((62–46) / 5 = 3.2, rounded to 3)'' * AEK Athens – 1 point ''((53–46) / 5 = 1.4, rounded to 1)'' * Aris – 0 points ''((46–46) / 5 = 0)''
