The play-off winner enters the
UEFA Champions League's second qualifying round, a two-legged tier from which the winner advances to the
3rd round qualification of the UEFA Champions League. The winner of the
Greek Football Cup automatically qualifies for the
2008–09 UEFA Cup, as well as the runners-up of the Super League play-off. In the play-off for Champions League, the teams play each other in a home and away
round robin. However, they do not all start with zero points. Instead, a weighting system applies to the teams' standing at the start of the play-off mini-league. The team finishing fifth in the Super League will start the play-off with zero points. The fifth place team's end of season tally of points is subtracted from the sum of the points that other teams have. This number is then divided by three to give the other teams the points with which they start the mini-league. The teams started the play-offs with the following number of points: • AEK Athens – 8 • Panathinaikos – 7 • Aris – 2 • Panionios – 0
