League 2 – Group C (2026 Season, Round 40 Recap)
With only 6 matches left, Group C is delivering one of the tightest promotion races across all leagues.
🔝 Title & Automatic Promotion Race
-
1st – Real Salt Lake (86 pts)
Holding the top spot and control of automatic promotion, but the margin is razor thin. -
2nd – Santos (84 pts)
Just 2 points behind and in excellent form—this could flip at any moment. -
3rd – Simón Bolívar (83 pts)
Right there. One slip from the top two and they could jump into 1st. -
4th – Cruzeiro (80 pts)
Still within reach, but they’ll need a near-perfect finish.
👉 Only 6 points separate 1st–4th—this title race is wide open.
⚔️ Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
Currently:
Santos, Simón Bolívar, Cruzeiro, Bayer Leverkusen, Vélez Sarsfield, Twente, Tottenham, Toluca
- Leverkusen (78 pts) and Vélez (76 pts) remain strong contenders.
- Twente (67 pts) sits comfortably mid-playoff.
- Tottenham & Toluca (67 pts) are holding onto the last playoff spots but under pressure.
🎯 Mid-Table Battle (Spots 10 & 11)
- 10th – Tigres (67 pts) → Friendly Cup spot
- 11th – Everton (65 pts) → King’s Cup spot
This is a crowded zone, with multiple teams just a few points behind. A single win/loss swing could reshuffle everything.
⚠️ Relegation Zone
- 23rd – Braga (33 pts)
- 24th – Numancia (28 pts)
Both teams are struggling badly, especially Numancia, who have one of the worst defensive records in the league. Survival looks unlikely unless form drastically improves.
🔥 Key Storylines
- Promotion race is intense – Real Salt Lake barely leads with 3 teams right behind.
- Playoff spots still unstable – especially positions 7–10.
- Mid-table congestion – teams from 8th to 12th are separated by very little.
- Relegation nearly decided – bottom two are running out of time.
