⚽ Group D Round 35 Recap – Premier World League

As Round 35 wraps up, the battles at the top and bottom of Group D are heating up. With the season well over halfway, we are starting to shape the different groups and see who will make a push to qualify for either the playoffs, World Cup of Clubs, Friendly Cup, and King's Cup.

🏆 Title Contenders

• AEK Athens (GRE) remain at the summit with 76 points, despite dropping some form recently (L2 D1 W2 in last 5). Their defense remains one of the strongest, conceding just 51 goals.

• Sydney FC (NZ) close in at 2nd with 74 points, just two behind the leaders after a strong winning run. They’re now the biggest threat to Athens.

• Cusco FC (PER) stay in 3rd on 73 points, winning consistently and still firmly in the hunt.

• DC United (USA) sit 4th with 71 points, only 5 points off top, and remain in striking distance with their balanced home/away record.

• Real Madrid (SPA) (70 pts) and Bayern Munich (GER) (71 pts) make this a six-team race for the title, separated by just 6 points!

⚔️ Continental Qualification Race

• Pyramids FC (EGY) (64 pts) and Wolfsburg (GER) (58 pts) sit right behind the top 6. Both need big final pushes to keep up.

• Werder Bremen (GER) (58 pts) lost some ground with inconsistent results but are still within reach.

• Liverpool (UK) (55 pts) and Deportivo Municipal (PER) (51 pts) remain in the mix but will need a perfect finish.

---

📉 Mid-Table Moves

• Argentino Juniors (ARG), Silkeborg (DK), and Estudiantes (ARG) hover around 50 points—safe, but unlikely to rise into contention.

• SC Freiburg (GER) (48 pts) and San Martín (PER) (47 pts) remain steady mid-table sides.

• Binacional (PER) (47 pts) are slipping after five straight losses but cling to safety for now.

⚠️ Relegation Zone Battle

• PSV (NEATH) (46 pts) and Colo Colo (CHI) (44 pts) are just above the drop, but poor recent form puts them in danger.

• Spartmani (MC) (42 pts) and Huracán (URU) (41 pts) are fighting for survival and need urgent wins.

• Atlético Ciclón (BOL) (42 pts) are barely hanging on with a -20 GD weighing them down.

---

❌ Bottom of the Table

• César Vallejo (PER) (40 pts) and Broncos (HON) (40 pts) are both locked in the relegation battle.

• Kashima Antlers (JAP) (38 pts), Chievo (ITA) (37 pts), and El Nacional (ECU) (37 pts) all remain vulnerable.

• Comunicaciones (GUA) (36 pts) and Alianza Atlético (PER) (35 pts) sit in the bottom four, desperate for points.

• Real Sociedad (SPA) (34 pts), Lokomotiv Moscow (RUS) (32 pts), and Western City Wanderers (AUS) (32 pts, worst GD at -55) round out the relegation pack and look doomed if form doesn’t change.

📊 Key Takeaways

• Six teams (AEK Athens to Real Madrid) are within 6 points of the title—Group D has the most competitive top of the table.

• Sydney FC are the form team, closing in fast on the leaders.

• The relegation scrap involves nearly half the group—from 17th down, no one is safe.

Round 36 will be decisive for both the title challengers and survival hopefuls.
