League 2 – Group D | 2026 Season – Round 37 Recap
With only 9 rounds left in the 46-game season, Group D is delivering one of the most competitive finishes across all positions—from promotion to relegation.
🔝 Promotion Race (1st Place)
Aston Villa (UK) lead the table with 71 points, holding the automatic promotion spot to the World Premier League. Despite a slight wobble in recent form, they remain just ahead in a tightly packed शीर्ष race.
Right behind them:
- Always Ready (BOL) – 71 pts
- Guayaquil City (ECU) – 71 pts
- Club Destroyers (BOL) – 70 pts
👉 Just 1 point separates the top 4, meaning the promotion spot is still wide open.
🎯 Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
Currently occupying the playoff spots:
- 2nd – Always Ready (71 pts)
- 3rd – Guayaquil City (71 pts)
- 4th – Club Destroyers (70 pts)
- 5th – Corinthians (BRA) (70 pts)
- 6th – Peñarol (URU) (69 pts)
- 7th – Banfield (ARG) (69 pts)
- 8th – Al Masry SC (EGY) (58 pts)
- 9th – Bolton Wanderers (UK) (57 pts)
The top 7 are tightly grouped, but there’s a noticeable gap before 8th and 9th. Still, those lower playoff spots are far from secure.
⚖️ Mid-Table Battles
- 10th – Unión La Calera (CHI) (55 pts) → Currently in the Friendly Cup spot, but just 2 points off the playoffs.
- 11th – El Nacional (ECU) (55 pts) → Holding the King’s Cup position, level on points with 10th.
Close contenders:
- Real Sociedad (SPA) (54 pts)
- FC Nantes (FRA) (54 pts)
👉 These teams are still very much in the hunt for top 10/11 finishes.
⚠️ Relegation Fight
At the bottom, the pressure is mounting:
- 23rd – SV Meppen (GER) (32 pts) ❌
- 24th – Canon Yaoundé (CMR) (17 pts) ❌
These two currently occupy the relegation spots to League III.
Just above them:
- R.K.R.C. Genk (BEL) (34 pts)
- Rio Ave (POR) (34 pts)
👉 The fight for survival is intense, with several teams still at risk.
📊 Key Takeaways
- Four teams within 1 point at the top — promotion race is razor-thin.
- Playoff spots (especially 6th–9th) are still highly contested.
- Mid-table teams remain within striking distance of both playoff and cup qualification.
- Relegation battle is active, with multiple teams still in danger.
As Round 38 approaches, expect major shifts in standings. With so little separating teams across the table, every match from here on out could define the season.
