Magic-number changes larger than that club's games left (still far off) are left out of this list. Clubs that clinch or are eliminated are always listed; both clubs' numbers are in the table below.

The magic number is the 6th-place team's maximum possible wins + 1 − own wins (same calculation as the club pages). It drops by one with each own win and each loss or tie by the 6th-place team. When a different team moves into 6th, the reference changes and the number can go up.
