The group was played in home-and-away round-robin format. The group winners qualified directly for the final tournament, while the runners-up also qualified directly if they were one of the six best runners-up among all eight groups (not counting results against the fifth-placed team); otherwise, the runners-up advance to the play-offs.[2]
Game was originally scheduled for 8 April 2016 at 20:30 but was postponed due to an accident on the motorway, which made it impossible for the teams to arrive at the stadium.[3]
