⚽ Group B – Round 13 Recap

RC Celta de Vigo (SPA) stay on top of the table with 26 points after 13 matches. Their record of 8 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, paired with a +12 goal difference, gives them a narrow edge in what is shaping up to be a very tight title race.

Rayo Vallecano (SPA) trail just behind with 25 points, matching Celta in wins but dropping one more match. Their 35 goals scored shows they have one of the strongest attacks in the group.

FC Gloria Buzău (ROU) and Villarreal CF (SPA) are tied at 25 points as well, making it a four-team logjam at the top. Villarreal boast the strongest goal difference of the bunch at +15, while Gloria Buzău’s consistency keeps them well in the mix.

Just outside the top four, Hvidovre IF (DNK) and C.D. Santa Clara (POR) both sit on 21 points, keeping pressure on the leaders. They’ll need a run of wins to break into the leading pack.

Royal Charleroi S.C. (BEL), Royal Antwerp F.C. (BEL), and AFC Unirea Slobozia (ROU) make up the mid-table cluster with 18–20 points. Each has shown flashes of quality but hasn’t been able to string results together.

Lower mid-table sees FC Helsingør (DNK) and FC Porto (POR) stuck on 17 points, underperforming given their potential. FC Porto especially will be disappointed with their placement, sitting 11th despite positive performances at home.

AC Horsens (DNK), SK Super Nova (LVA), and Canadian (URU) hover between 15–17 points, just above the danger zone but far from secure.

At the bottom, it’s been a struggle:

• FC Dinamo București (ROU) (13 pts) and BFC Daugavpils (LVA) (13 pts) can’t seem to stop conceding, both holding double-digit negative goal differences.

• Rēzeknes FA/BJSS (LVA) and KAA Gent (BEL) sit on 11 points each, with weak defenses and little to show for their efforts.

• S.L. Benfica (POR) (10 pts) and Violette AC (HTI) (9 pts) close out the table. Benfica’s defense has been leaking goals, while Violette have just 2 wins and the second-worst goal difference at -24.

🔑 Key Storylines:

• Four teams within 1 point at the top: Celta de Vigo, Rayo Vallecano, Gloria Buzău, and Villarreal all in a heated battle.

• Hvidovre and Santa Clara chasing hard: both only 5 points off first.

• Mid-table congestion: 7th to 13th place separated by just 5 points.

• Relegation zone tightening: Benfica and Violette need urgent form improvement, while Gent and Rēzeknes are just above them.
