How to determine opponents in the A-League joint round

How to determine the opponent in the AUP joint round? The A-League joint round is a supplementary competition system designed by the A-League to deal with the schedule of 13 teams (odd teams). Today we will take a look at how the A-League joint round determines the opponent.

The opponents of two additional matches in the A-League joint round are directly designated by the ‌League official and do not follow the regular fixed pairing rules of home and away double cycles‌. The joint round is mainly used to solve the problem that 13 teams (odd numbers) have to have one team bye in each round in regular rounds. By adding two matches, the number of bye times is reduced to ensure that the total number of matches of each team is unified to 26 games.
