🏆 League 2 – Group D
2026 Season – Round 18 Recap (46 Rounds Total)
We’ve reached the 18-match mark in this 46-round marathon, and Group D is shaping up to be one of the most competitive divisions in League 2.
🔝 Automatic Promotion Spot
1️⃣ Corinthians (BRA) – 38 pts
Corinthians sit top of the table and currently hold the automatic promotion place to the World Premier League. With 12 wins and a strong +13 goal difference, they’ve been consistent both home and away.
However, the lead is razor thin…
-
2️⃣ Aston Villa (UK) – 36 pts
-
3️⃣ Peñarol (URU) – 35 pts
-
4️⃣ Club Destroyers (BOL) – 35 pts
-
5️⃣ FC Nantes (FRA) – 33 pts
Just five points separate 1st from 5th — one slip could completely change the promotion picture.
🎯 Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
As it stands, these teams are in playoff positions:
-
Aston Villa – 36 pts
-
Peñarol – 35 pts
-
Club Destroyers – 35 pts
-
FC Nantes – 33 pts
-
Always Ready – 32 pts
-
Banfield – 31 pts
-
Al Masry – 31 pts
-
Real Sociedad – 30 pts
The midfield pack is extremely tight. A two-game winning streak could launch a team into the top three — or drop them out of the playoffs entirely.
🏆 Special Qualification Spots
-
10th – El Nacional (26 pts) → Friendly Cup qualification
-
11th – Unión La Calera (25 pts) → King’s Cup qualification
Both clubs remain within touching distance of the playoff zone and will believe a strong run can push them upward.
⚠️ Relegation Battle
Currently in the relegation spots to League III:
-
23rd – K.R.C. Genk – 12 pts
-
24th – Canon Yaoundé – 9 pts
Canon Yaoundé are struggling badly defensively and already 10+ points from safety. Genk also face an uphill climb with just 12 points from 18 matches.
Just above the drop zone:
-
Bella Vista – 14 pts
-
Rio Ave – 15 pts
-
AS Mona – 16 pts
The bottom six are in serious danger — and survival will require immediate improvement.
📊 Mid-Table Watch
Teams like SV Meppen (25 pts), Bolton Wanderers (24 pts), Atlético Osasuna (22 pts), and Far Rabat (21 pts) are stuck in limbo — too far from playoffs, but not safe from the relegation fight. With 28 rounds still to play, momentum will be everything.
🔥 Round 18 Snapshot
-
Corinthians lead, but promotion is far from secured.
-
The playoff race is incredibly congested from 2nd to 9th.
-
El Nacional and Unión La Calera sit in special qualification positions but can still climb.
-
The relegation zone is tightening, and Canon Yaoundé are in serious trouble.
-
28 matches remain — the season is just getting started.
Group D promises drama all the way to Round 46.
