League 2 – Group B | 2026 Season – Round 44 Recap
With only two rounds remaining in the 46-match season, the promotion race and relegation battle in League 2 Group B are reaching their dramatic conclusion. Several clubs are still fighting for playoff spots, while the bottom teams are desperately trying to avoid the drop.
🥇 Promotion Race
At the top of the table, ACF Fiorentina remain in 1st place with 84 points after 44 matches. With a strong 26 wins and the league’s best attack (125 goals), Fiorentina are firmly in control of the automatic promotion spot to the World Premier League. However, their recent form has been slightly inconsistent, meaning they must stay focused in the final two rounds.
Just behind them is Hannover 96 in 2nd place with 77 points. While they cannot catch Fiorentina easily, they are comfortably positioned for the promotion playoffs, along with FC Schalke 04 in 3rd and Vasco da Gama in 4th.
The playoff zone (2nd–9th) remains competitive with Busan I Park, Cagliari Calcio, Atalanta BC, Blackburn Rovers, and Arminia Bielefeld currently occupying the remaining playoff places. With such a tight points spread between these teams, the last two rounds could still shuffle the playoff seeding dramatically.
⚔️ Mid-Table Battles
FC Kaiserslautern sit in 10th place with 69 points, which currently earns a Friendly Cup qualification. Just behind them is Clube Atlético Mineiro in 11th, holding the King’s Cup spot with 68 points.
Clubs like Inter Milan, Charlton Athletic, and Real Betis remain mathematically capable of pushing into those positions depending on results in the final rounds.
⚠️ Relegation Battle
The fight to avoid relegation is becoming clearer near the bottom.
Currently in the danger zone are:
- 23rd – AS Monaco FC with 36 points
- 24th – Africa Sports FC with 28 points
With such a gap and only two matches left, survival is looking increasingly unlikely for both clubs, who appear destined for relegation to League III unless a dramatic turnaround occurs.
📊 Key Takeaways After Round 44
- Fiorentina lead the table and are close to securing automatic promotion.
- The playoff race (2nd–9th) remains highly competitive heading into the final rounds.
- Kaiserslautern and Atlético Mineiro currently hold the Friendly Cup and King’s Cup spots.
- Monaco and Africa Sports are in serious danger of relegation with time running out.
✅ Only two rounds remain, meaning every match will be crucial as teams fight for promotion, playoff seeding, cup qualification, and survival. The final stretch of the League 2 Group B 2026 season promises to deliver plenty of drama.
