Haven’t seen this discussed anywhere and sorry if it has but I can’t for the life of me find out how it works.
So far I’ve found out that if two teams are level, the team with the best GD finishes highest. If GD is the same it comes down to head to head. If they’re still level and the teams are playing each other they’ll take penalties but what I can’t find out is what happens if they’re not playing each other?
Equally, regarding the 4 best 3rd placed teams, what happens if the 4th and 5th teams have exactly the same record?
