🏆 League 2 – Group B
2026 Season – Round 24 Recap (Halfway Point – 46 Rounds Total)
We’ve reached Round 24, and the promotion race in Group B is shaping up to be one of the tightest in the league!
🔝 Automatic Promotion Spot
1️⃣ ACF Fiorentina (ITA) – 49 pts
Fiorentina lead the table at the halfway mark and currently hold the automatic promotion spot to the World Premier League. With 15 wins and 64 goals scored, they’ve combined attacking firepower with strong home form. However, their lead is slim — just one point separates the top two.
🎯 Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
2️⃣ Vasco Da Gama (BRA) – 48 pts
Just one point off the top, Vasco are firmly in the hunt for direct promotion. Their +16 goal difference keeps them competitive in any tiebreaker situation.
3️⃣ FC Schalke 04 (GER) – 46 pts
4️⃣ Inter (ITA) – 46 pts
5️⃣ Hannover 96 (GER) – 46 pts
Three clubs locked on 46 points! Schalke, Inter, and Hannover are separated only by goal difference. One strong matchday could completely reshuffle the top five.
6️⃣ Atalanta BC (ITA) – 44 pts
Still very much in contention. Their +9 goal difference keeps them in striking distance of the automatic promotion spot.
7️⃣ Atlético Mineiro (BRA) – 39 pts
A small gap has opened between 6th and 7th, but Mineiro remain safely inside playoff territory.
8️⃣ Arminia (GER) – 38 pts
Holding onto a playoff spot by a narrow margin.
9️⃣ Cagliari Calcio (ITA) – 36 pts
Cagliari close out the playoff positions, but the pressure from below is intense.
🏅 Special Qualification Spots
🔟 Desna (UKR) – 35 pts
Currently in the Friendly Cup qualification spot (10th). Just one point off the playoffs — they’re still in the race.
1️⃣1️⃣ Busan IPark (SK) – 31 pts
Occupying the King’s Cup position (11th). However, Blackburn and several others are within reach.
⚖️ Mid-Table Logjam
From 12th down to 20th, the standings are extremely congested:
-
Blackburn (31 pts)
-
C.D. Santa Clara (30 pts)
-
Charlton (29 pts)
-
Philadelphia Ukrainian (29 pts)
-
FC Porto (28 pts)
-
Spartak (27 pts)
-
Real Betis (27 pts)
-
Deportivo FAS (27 pts)
-
Lille OSC (27 pts)
Just 4 points separate 12th from 20th. A good three-match winning streak could propel a team into playoff contention.
🚨 Relegation Battle
23️⃣ Monaco FC (FRA) – 20 pts
Struggling defensively and sitting inside the drop zone.
24️⃣ Africa Sports FC (IVC) – 15 pts
In serious danger. With 82 goals conceded (worst in the league) and a -44 goal difference, survival will require a dramatic turnaround.
Just above them, Stade Brestois (25 pts) and FC Ka (25 pts) are not safe either. The relegation scrap could become fierce in the coming rounds.
🔥 Key Storylines Moving Forward

Can Fiorentina hold off Vasco and the trio on 46 points?
