League 2 – Group D (2026 Season, Round 40 Recap)
With 6 rounds remaining, Group D is one of the most competitive tables—especially at the top where multiple teams are still fighting for that single automatic promotion spot.
🔝 Title & Promotion Race
-
1st – Aston Villa (78 pts)
Leading the table, but not comfortably. Their form is solid, but pressure is building. - 2nd – Always Ready (77 pts)
- 3rd – Guayaquil City (77 pts)
- 4th – Club Destroyers (77 pts)
👉 Just 1 point separates 1st–4th. This is an all-out sprint to the finish—any slip could be fatal.
-
5th – Corinthians (77 pts)
Even 5th place is level on points—this is one of the tightest races you’ll see.
⚔️ Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
Currently:
Always Ready, Guayaquil City, Club Destroyers, Corinthians, Banfield, Peñarol, El Nacional, Al Masry
- Banfield (76 pts) is right in the mix, just outside the top cluster.
- Peñarol (72 pts) still competitive but losing ground.
- El Nacional (61 pts) and Al Masry (61 pts) are holding onto the final playoff spots.
🎯 Mid-Table Stakes
- 10th – Nantes (60 pts) → Friendly Cup spot
- 11th – Real Sociedad (60 pts) → King’s Cup spot
Just like other groups, this zone is extremely tight, with several teams within a few points ready to jump in.
⚠️ Relegation Battle
- 23rd – Genk (34 pts)
- 24th – Canon Yaoundé (17 pts)
- Canon Yaoundé are nearly relegated already—massive gap to safety and very poor form.
- Genk (34 pts) still has a slim chance but needs a late surge.
🔥 Key Takeaways
- Promotion race is chaos – 5 teams within 1 point of first place.
- Playoff spots are not secure – especially from 6th down.
- Mid-table is volatile – 9th to 12th separated by almost nothing.
- Relegation nearly sealed for last place, while Genk still fights.
