Play-offs I

Points obtained during the regular season were halved (and rounded up) before the start of the playoff. Genk and Union SG, therefore, started on 38 points, Antwerp on 36, and Club Brugge on 30. In case of ties between some of the teams, their relative order would be based on the following list: Antwerp (points not rounded up), Genk (regular season ranked 1), Union SG (regular season ranked 2), Club Brugge (regular season ranked 4).
