Promotion / Relegation Play-off

The teams placed on the 13th and 14th place in the Divizia A faced the 2nd placed teams from both groups of the Divizia B. Politehnica AEK Timișoara and FC Bihor Oradea won the relegation play-offs.[2]

Even though Oțelul Galați lost the relegation play-off against FC Bihor, they kept their place in the Divizia A because Petrolul Ploiești, the club that won the Divizia B, Seria I, sold its promotion place to Oțelul Galați and merged with Astra Ploiești, the other team from the city of Ploiești, which finished on the 9th position this season.[3]

Team 1 Agg. Team 2 1st leg 2nd leg

Oțelul Galați 3–4 FC Bihor Oradea 2–1 1–3
