Royal Antwerp only with a draw yesterday so USG winning today would make the playoff look a bit like a two horse race.

Do I assume play off winners win the league and enter champions league. Runner up enters Europa League

USG will have a 2 point lead in the play-offs as it stands. This could go down to zero if they lose and Bruges win today (but their 0.5 would be added if they finish level on points with any other team) or up to 4 if they win and Bruges lose.

Good luck USG, especially to the 3 Albion stars!

It's a bit of a rubbish system isn't it really? USG have won the league so deserve to be champions.

Worst case scenario, USG would go into the play-offs with a 1 point advantage!

You could argue that is the case but then that goes for playoffs in the EFL divisions as well... and I quite enjoy those.

It’s fun and a bonus for 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th place finishers….…. the top two get their rewards though

Oh dear. All kicking off for USG, 10mins to go but players have been sent into the dressing room whilst trouble is sorted.

It’s not a bonus for 3rd place. They’ve beaten 4th-6th over the course of 46 games but don’t get the third promotion position. Even worse, they don’t even get to carry a fraction of their points into the playoffs but go into them having parity with 6th position.

It certainly didn’t feel like fun or a bonus when we got knocked out by Sheffield Wednesday, who’d finished 15 points behind us in the regular season.

Aren’t the rules that the result stands after about 60-70 mins? Shame if that’s the case.
