League 2 – Group B | 2026 Season – Round 45 Recap
With one round remaining in the 46-match season, the drama in League 2 Group B is reaching its peak. Promotion hopes, playoff seeding, and cup qualification are still being decided, while the relegation picture is now almost fully confirmed.
🥇 Promotion Race
ACF Fiorentina have taken a massive step toward promotion. After 45 matches, they lead the table with 87 points and a powerful +39 goal difference, scoring 130 goals this season. With only one game left, Fiorentina are on the verge of securing automatic promotion to the World Premier League.
Close behind is Hannover 96 with 80 points, safely inside the playoff positions but no longer able to realistically catch Fiorentina unless a final-round shock occurs.
FC Schalke 04 remain 3rd with 78 points, while CR Vasco da Gama hold 4th place with 77 points, rounding out the top playoff seeds heading into the final round.
🎯 Playoff Battle (2nd–9th)
The playoff spots are almost locked in, but seeding and positioning are still up for grabs.
Currently in the playoff zone:
- 2nd – Hannover 96 (80 pts)
- 3rd – FC Schalke 04 (78 pts)
- 4th – CR Vasco da Gama (77 pts)
- 5th – Busan I Park (72 pts)
- 6th – Cagliari Calcio (72 pts)
- 7th – Arminia Bielefeld (72 pts)
- 8th – Atalanta BC (72 pts)
- 9th – Blackburn Rovers (70 pts)
With four clubs tied at 72 points, the final round could still reshuffle five playoff positions, making the last matchday extremely important.

The battle for the special cup spots is still alive:
- 10th – Charlton Athletic (70 pts) currently qualifies for the Friendly Cup.
- 11th – FC Kaiserslautern (70 pts) hold the King’s Cup position.
However, Real Betis in 12th place with 69 points and Inter Milan in 13th with 68 points could still change the outcome on the final day.
⚠️ Relegation Confirmed
At the bottom of the table, the relegation battle has effectively been decided.
- 23rd – AS Monaco FC with 39 points
- 24th – Africa Sports with 28 points
Both clubs are now relegated to League III, unable to escape the drop with just one match left.
