After 31 rounds in Premier World League 2 – Group B, the standings remain extremely competitive across the table. With 15 matches left in the 46-game season, the fight for promotion, playoff qualification, and survival is still wide open.
🥇 Promotion Race
At the top of the standings, FC Schalke 04 lead the group with 59 points. Their powerful offense, scoring 90 goals, has made them the most dangerous attacking team in the league so far. Holding first place means they currently claim the automatic promotion spot to the World Premier League.
Just behind them is Brazilian side Vasco da Gama, also on 59 points, trailing only on tiebreakers. Their strong home form has kept them right in the title race.
In third place sits Hannover 96 with 59 points as well, creating a dramatic three-way tie at the top of Group B.
Italian club ACF Fiorentina follows closely with 58 points, while Inter Milan rounds out the top five with 54 points.
With so many teams separated by only a few points, the promotion battle is one of the tightest in League 2 this season.
