Main round

The game was played in two groups of eight teams each in a simple round with a return leg. In Group A, which included the top eight teams from the previous season, the first four qualified directly for the play-off finals. The last four of Group A had to go to a qualifying round with the first four teams of Group B. The last four teams of Group B went straight to the play-down finals.
