League 2 – Group D | 2026 Season | Round 31 Recap ⚽
After 31 rounds of the 46-match season, the table in Group D is starting to take shape. The promotion fight, playoff race, and relegation battle are all heating up as teams enter the final stretch of the campaign.
🥇 Promotion Race
The battle for automatic promotion to the World Premier League is extremely tight.
1st – Club Destroyers (63 pts)
Club Destroyers currently lead the table and hold the automatic promotion spot. Their strong attacking output (77 goals scored) and consistent results have kept them on top, but their lead is far from comfortable.
2nd – Always Ready (61 pts)
Just two points behind, Always Ready are applying heavy pressure. With one of the best attacks in the league (84 goals), they remain a serious threat to take the top spot.
3rd – Aston Villa (59 pts)
Aston Villa continues to stay close to the leaders. A strong run in the coming rounds could push them into the promotion position.
4th – Corinthians (59 pts)
Level on points with Villa, Corinthians remain firmly in the promotion/playoff battle. Their defense has been relatively solid and keeps them competitive.
🎯 Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
The playoff positions are packed with strong teams and very little separation.
Current playoff teams:
-
2nd – Always Ready (61 pts)
-
3rd – Aston Villa (59 pts)
-
4th – Corinthians (59 pts)
-
5th – Banfield (58 pts)
-
6th – Peñarol (57 pts)
-
7th – Guayaquil City (56 pts)
-
8th – Bolton Wanderers (54 pts)
-
9th – Al Masry (49 pts)
Banfield, Peñarol, and Guayaquil City are all within striking distance of the top positions, meaning the playoff race could change dramatically over the next few rounds.
🏆 Qualification Spots
Just outside the playoff places are the teams currently qualifying for cup competitions.
-
10th – Unión La Calera (48 pts) → Friendly Cup spot
-
11th – El Nacional (44 pts) → King’s Cup spot
Both teams are still within reach of the playoff zone if they can build momentum.
⚖️ Mid-Table Cluster
Several clubs sit in the middle of the standings, safe for now but needing improvement if they want to push higher:
-
FC Nantes
-
Real Sociedad
-
Bella Vista
-
Atlético Osasuna
-
Alto Perú
-
FAR Rabat
-
Al Mokawloon
-
AS Monaco
These teams still have time to climb with 15 rounds remaining, but they’ll need consistent performances.
🔻 Relegation Battle
The bottom of the table is becoming increasingly dangerous.
-
21st – SV Meppen (29 pts)
-
22nd – Rio Ave (29 pts)
-
23rd – K.R.C. Genk (21 pts)
-
24th – Canon Yaoundé (17 pts)
Currently, Genk and Canon Yaoundé occupy the relegation places and would drop to League III if the season ended today.
Canon Yaoundé has had a particularly difficult campaign, conceding 84 goals, the worst defensive record in the league.
