League 2 – Group B
2026 Season – Round 27 Recap (46 Rounds Total)
With 27 matches played, Group B is delivering one of the tightest promotion races in League 2. Only goal difference separates the top two, and the playoff picture is far from settled.
🔝 Automatic Promotion Spot (1st → World Premier League)
1️⃣ FC Schalke 04 – 55 pts (+38 GD)
Schalke sit top on goal difference after another strong run of form. With the league’s most explosive attack (84 goals scored), they hold the inside track to promotion — but the margin is razor thin.
2️⃣ ACF Fiorentina – 55 pts (+18 GD)
Level on points with Schalke, Fiorentina remain firmly in the hunt. Their consistency keeps them level, but goal difference is the only thing keeping them from 1st.
3️⃣ Inter – 50 pts
Five points back, Inter remain dangerous. They’ll need a strong push over the next few rounds to close the gap.
🎯 Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
-
Vasco Da Gama – 50 pts
-
Hannover 96 – 49 pts
-
Atlético Mineiro – 45 pts ⬆️
-
Atalanta – 45 pts ⬇️
-
Cagliari Calcio – 45 pts
-
Arminia – 44 pts
Just 6 points separate 3rd from 9th, making this one of the most congested playoff battles across all groups. Atlético Mineiro climb into 6th, while Atalanta slip slightly.
Arminia currently hold the final playoff position — but the gap is minimal.
🏆 Qualification Positions Outside Playoffs
10️⃣ Blackburn – 40 pts
Holding the Friendly Cup spot. They are only four points behind 9th and still very much alive in the playoff race.
11️⃣ Busan Park – 38 pts
Currently in the King’s Cup position but still within striking distance of 10th.
📉 Mid-Table & Movement
-
Desna (35 pts)
-
FC Porto (34 pts)
-
FC KA (34 pts)

-
Charlton (31 pts)
-
Spartak (30 pts)
-

🚨 Relegation Zone (Bottom 2 → League III)
23️⃣ Monaco – 20 pts
24️⃣ Africa Sports FC – 15 pts
Africa Sports are in serious trouble with a -62 goal difference and 102 goals conceded. Monaco are five points from safety and need immediate results to avoid being cut adrift.
