⚽ League III – Group B: Round 20 Recap
The competition in Group B continues to intensify as the league passes its halfway mark (38 rounds total). Every point now carries huge playoff and promotion implications, and the top sides are battling fiercely to reach League II.
🥇 1. Villarreal CF (SPA) – 41 pts
Villarreal reclaimed the top spot after a solid run of form. Their defensive discipline and consistency have been key, giving them a slight cushion over Helsingør. Promotion to League II is now firmly within their grasp if they maintain this momentum.
🥈 2. FC Helsingør (DNK) – 39 pts
The Danish side remains a serious contender. Despite some inconsistency in away matches, Helsingør’s attack continues to shine. They’re just two points off the top and well-placed for at least a playoff berth.
🥉 3. RC Celta de Vigo (SPA) – 37 pts
Celta de Vigo stay within striking distance of the leaders. They’ve shown resilience in close matches and could push for direct promotion if they convert more away fixtures into wins.
🔺 4. Rayo Vallecano (SPA) – 35 pts
Another Spanish side on the rise, Rayo are playing dynamic football and have built momentum. They’re eyeing the playoff zone firmly and could be a dark horse for the second promotion spot.
🔺 5. FC Gloria Buzău (ROU) – 34 pts
With a balanced attack and improving away form, Gloria Buzău continue to impress. Their solid +11 goal differential highlights their competitive edge in tight matches.
🔻 6. Hvidovre IF (DNK) – 34 pts
A tough loss this round keeps Hvidovre from climbing higher, but they remain comfortably inside the playoff range. Their home record will be key in the coming rounds.
🔺 7. C.D. Santa Clara (POR) – 32 pts
Santa Clara continue to make steady progress, holding a strong home record that keeps them in the playoff picture.
🔻 8. Royal Charleroi S.C. (BEL) – 31 pts
Charleroi have hit a small slump recently, dropping key points in consecutive matches. They’ll need to rediscover their early-season rhythm to stay in contention.
🔺 9. AFC Unirea Slobozia (ROU) – 30 pts
AFC Unirea sneak into the last playoff spot after a narrow win. Their attack has been unpredictable but effective when it matters.
⚠️ Just Outside the Playoff Zone
-
10. Canadian (URU) – 29 pts: Still close enough to challenge for playoffs, but inconsistency is hurting their momentum.
-
11. Royal Antwerp F.C. (BEL) – 28 pts: Draws have slowed their climb; they’ll need wins soon to stay in the race.
⛔ Lower Table Battle
-
16–20: Clubs like BFC Daugavpils, KAA Gent, Rēzeknes FA/BJSS, and Violette AC continue to struggle, with defensive lapses costing vital points. Violette remain bottom with just 14 points and a –41 goal difference, needing a major turnaround to avoid finishing last.
🔮 Looking Ahead (Round 21)
With 18 rounds remaining, Villarreal hold the lead—but Helsingør, Celta, and Rayo are all within one win of overtaking them. The playoff zone is crowded, and any slip could mean a big reshuffle next week.
