The 53 teams are divided into 9 groups, A to H, with 6 teams in each group, and only 5 teams in Group I..
The group match is a round robin match between home and away from home for six teams, that is, each team needs to participate in 10 matches.
A five-person team has only eight games.
Nine groups directly qualified for the top 32.
Then in the second of the nine teams, choose the team with the worst performance, and the remaining eight teams will be eliminated directly. The second team will take part in the play-offs to compete for the last four promotion places, that is, 9+4 has allocated 13 places in Europe.
Because there are only five teams in Group I, the team plays less than other teams, which will affect the second place in the group.
Therefore, the second place of eight teams (teams of six teams) will not be counted in the score of the last place of the team. For example, the second place of a team is the bottom of its own team, and the first place will be one win and one draw, so if the second place is the worst, the four points won by the last place will not be accumulated, so the worst team will be eliminated in the second cup.
