Rules for classification: 1) points, 2) head-to-head points,[37] 3) head-to-head goal difference.[38]
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.[39]
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.[40] In any other case, the final standings of tied teams are determined with a public draw[41]
Notes:
  1. Head-to-head record: PAOK–Atromitos 3–1, Atromitos–PAOK 0–0.
  2. AEK Athens was not licensed to play in the Europa League 2012–2013 and therefore will be replaced by the 6th placed team in the league table, which is Asteras Tripolis (which will play in the second qualifying round).
