League 2 – Group B (2026 Season, Round 40 Recap)
With just 6 rounds remaining, the table is tightening and every point matters as promotion, playoff spots, and relegation battles heat up.
🔝 Top of the Table (Promotion Race)
-
1st – AC Fiorentina (84 pts)
Still leading the pack and in pole position for automatic promotion. Their recent form remains strong and consistent. -
2nd – Hannover 96 (81 pts)
Keeping the pressure on Fiorentina. A slip from the leaders could change everything. -
3rd – FC Schalke 04 (79 pts)
Right in the mix—very much a contender if the top two falter.
⚔️ Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
Currently:
Hannover 96, Schalke 04, Vasco da Gama, Atlético Mineiro, Arminia, Busan I’Park, Blackburn Rovers, Erzgebirge Aue
- Vasco da Gama (74 pts) and Atlético Mineiro (73 pts) are still within reach of the top 3.
- Arminia (63 pts) has a bit of breathing room but can’t relax.
- Busan I’Park & Blackburn (62 pts) are neck-and-neck—tiny margins here.
- Erzgebirge Aue (~60 pts) clinging to the final playoff spot.
🎯 Mid-Table Stakes
- 10th place (Friendly Cup spot): Currently around Inter (~60 pts)
- 11th place (King’s Cup): Just behind, likely Atlanta United (~60 pts range)
This section is extremely tight—a couple of wins could push a team into playoffs, while a bad run drops them out of even cup contention.
⚠️ Relegation Battle (Bottom 2)
- 23rd – Stabaek (~34 pts)
- 24th – Africa Sports FC (~28 pts)
These two are in serious danger of dropping to League III, and time is running out. The gap to safety is growing, and they’ll need near-perfect finishes.
🔥 Key Takeaways
- Title race is still open—Fiorentina leads, but Hannover and Schalke are within striking distance.
- Playoff race is crowded—positions 6–11 are separated by just a few points.
- Relegation looks grim for the bottom two unless they mount a late surge.
