Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Head-to-head points;^[4] 3) Head-to-head goal difference.^[5]
If in current league table there are tied teams after applying criteria 1 to 3, they are considered to share places and listed in Greek language alphabetic order.^[6]
If in final league table there are still tied teams after applying criteria 1 to 3, a decision match (or matches if they are more than two) are to be played but only in three cases: to determine the champion, to fill spots in the play-off or to determine the teams to be relegated.^[7] In any other case, the final standings of tied teams are determined with a public draw^[8]
Notes:

1. Panathinaikos started the league season with minus 2 points because of severe crowd violence during their home match against Olympiacos last year.
2. 6th place play-off: Panathinaikos–Skoda Xanthi 3–0.
3. Head-to-head points: Panionios 9, Platanias 7, Panthrakikos 1.
