FC Bihor played against the 2nd places from the other series, Forex Brașov and Unirea Urziceni, but failed to promoted. FC Bihor's 47th seasons was another agitated one, with a lot of changes in the managerial and technical staff, also for promotion was a tough fight against another team from Bihor County, Liberty Salonta, which finished 1st.

#### Results
### Promotion play-off

In the following season, the Liga I was expanded from 16 teams to 18 teams, therefore the Romanian Football Federation decided that a promotion playoff group would be played at the end of the season, between the second placed teams from each series of the Liga II, in order to establish the fourth promoted team (in exchange to the two teams relegated from the Liga I). The winner of this group, Unirea Urziceni, promoted to the Liga I, along with the three winners of the series.
