Legend: Blue = home team win; Yellow = draw; Red = away team win.
Notes:
  1. The match of Round 9 originally finished 1–1, but was awarded to Granit with a score of 3–0. The reason is that for some time during the match Neman had five foreign players on the pitch, while the maximum number of foreign players a team can have on the pitch in the same time is four. [1]
