It seems we are guaranteed at least a playoff for an ACL spot for next season.
In a major change, Mr Gallop confirmed that two Australian teams would automatically qualify for the group stages in Asia in 2014 (the second automatic qualifier will be decided during the A-League finals beginning on April 5). It is a boost for the Australian competition, given only one automatic qualifier, the Central Coast Mariners, competed in this year’s ACL.
...
A third A-League team could make the ACL group stages should it win a qualifying play-off early next year.
