League 2 – Group B (2026 Season)
Round 37 Recap
With only 9 matches left in the 46-game season, Group B is shaping up to deliver a dramatic finish across the table—from the promotion race to the fight for survival.
🔝 Race for Automatic Promotion
FC Schalke 04 sit at the top with 71 points, leading a tightly packed group. While they currently hold the automatic promotion spot, their inconsistent recent form (mixed results in the last five) leaves the door open.
Hot on their heels:
- ACF Fiorentina – 71 pts (level on points, just behind on tiebreakers)
- Hannover 96 – 68 pts
- Vasco da Gama – 67 pts
This is one of the closest promotion races in the league. A single slip could completely reshuffle the top four.
⚔️ Playoff Battle (2nd–9th)
The playoff zone is extremely competitive, with multiple teams in striking distance:
- 2nd–4th: Fiorentina, Hannover, Vasco
- 5th–9th: Arminia, Atlético Mineiro, Inter, Atalanta BC, FC KA
Clubs like Atalanta BC and FC KA are building momentum at the perfect time, while others such as Atlético Mineiro are struggling to maintain consistency.
Every point matters now—expect major shifts in these positions over the coming rounds.
🏆 Mid-Table Targets
- 10th: Cagliari (56 pts) – Currently holding the Friendly Cup qualification
- 11th: Blackburn Rovers (56 pts) – Sitting in the King’s Cup spot
These two are level on points, and with Busan Park FC and Real Betis close behind, this mini-battle could go down to the final rounds.
⚠️ Relegation Fight
The bottom of the table is becoming clearer, but not fully decided:
- 22nd: Philadelphia Ukrainian (40 pts)
- 23rd: Monaco FC (29 pts)
- 24th: Africa Sports FC (26 pts)
The final two (23rd & 24th) face relegation to League III, and right now Monaco FC and Africa Sports FC are in the drop zone.
Philadelphia still has breathing room but cannot afford a collapse, while Monaco and Africa Sports are running out of time to mount a comeback.
📊 Key Takeaways
- The promotion race is wide open, with four teams realistically fighting for 1st.
- The playoff positions (2nd–9th) remain highly volatile.
- Mid-table still matters with cup qualification spots up for grabs.
- The relegation zone is tightening, with two teams in serious danger.
The final stretch of Group B promises high drama, with promotion, playoffs, and survival all still on the line. Every match from here could define the season.
