Since there are 2 more teams this year , playing all teams home and away would increase the number of matches too much . So the teams have been divided into 2 groups . A team plays all the teams in the same group both home and away . By lots a team from the other group is picked and they'll also play the first team home and away . Against the remaining 4 teams , the team will play 2 at home and 2 away . It's a very complicated way but it was done to keep the number of matches same as last year .
