How to read it: PJ = matches played; G, E and P = wins, draws and losses; GF and GC = goals for and against; DG = goal difference; Pts = points. The article’s table footer lists points, then goal difference, then goals scored, followed by a play-off as its ranking criteria.

If teams are level on points, treat their order with care: the same article’s format section puts points from head-to-head matches first, before goal difference, goals scored and away goals scored. The table footer and the format text give different criteria.
