League III – Group B Round 36 Recap
Only two rounds remain in League III Group B, and the race for direct promotion to League II is reaching maximum tension! With 36 matches played, clubs are fighting for every last point, whether for the title, the promotion play-offs, or the minor cups.
🔝 Title & Promotion Race
| Rank | Club | Points | Last 5 Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 FC Helsingør (DNK) | 65 pts | W W W L D | |
| 2 Villarreal CF (SPA) | 63 pts | W W W D L | |
| 3 Canadien (URU) | 63 pts | W W W W W |
FC Helsingør remains in 1st place with 65 points, but the lead is razor-thin after a draw in Round 36. Both Villarreal CF and Canadien sit just two points behind, and Canadien has become the team to fear with a perfect 5-win streak in their last five matches.
This is now a three-team sprint for the automatic promotion spot. If Helsingør slips in either of the last two rounds, the door opens wide for Villarreal or Canadien to steal the title.
🎯 Playoff Qualification Battle (Ranks 2–9)
Spots 2 through 9 enter the playoff for the second promotion ticket. The battle remains extremely tight:
| Rank | Club | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | C.D. Santa Clara (POR) | 63 |
| 5 | Rayo Vallecano (SPA) | 61 |
| 6 | RC Celta de Vigo (SPA) | 61 |
| 7 | FC Gloria Buzău (ROU) | 59 |
| 8 | FC Porto (POR) | 55 |
| 9 | Royal Charleroi S.C. (BEL) | 54 |
Santa Clara is still well positioned and safe in playoff territory, while Rayo Vallecano and Celta remain in strong contention. Gloria Buzău stays in the race, but their form is shaky with three losses in the last five.
The big concern is for Royal Charleroi, who suffered four straight losses and are at risk of dropping out of the playoff zone.
☕ Friendly Cup Position (Rank 10)
| Rank | Club | Points | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Hvidovre IF (DNK) | 51 pts | LLWDL |
Hvidovre currently holds the Friendly Cup qualifying spot, but Rēzeknes FA/BJSS is only 3 points behind and improving.
👑 King’s Cup Qualification (Ranks 11–12)
| Rank | Club | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 11 | Rēzeknes FA/BJSS (LVA) | 48 |
| 12 | AFC Unirea Slobozia (ROU) | 44 |
Both clubs are locked into the King’s Cup positions for now, but Rēzeknes could still make a late push to pass Hvidovre for the Friendly Cup spot.
🔻 No Relegation, But Tough Times Below
The bottom of the table sees teams safe from relegation, but struggling:
| Rank | Club | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 19 | AC Horsens (DNK) | 31 |
| 20 | Violette AC (HTI) | 29 |
Both sides have shown effort, but defensive issues have cost them too many matches. Violette remains last with a league-worst -62 goal difference.
