To put it in a nutshell...

..if Wales win all the remaining games, we'll still end up 2nd to Belgium after GD is applied.
So the hottest ticket in town is a North Macedonia ticket?

That's assuming Belgium wins all its games.

They can lose to us...which they won't..(we can't handle Doku)..and still finish above us.
They won't lose at home to North Macedonia..and the other two are a gimme.

Although we're pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot through the Nations League, it's much better to get into the playoffs by finishing 2nd as (I think) we'd be seeded, would play against one of the lowest ranked playoff teams and would have a home semifinal.
So even if we don't finish above Belgium we need to finish above North Macedonia.That could come down to the final game.

In 5 team groups, results against the bottom team, Liechtenstein, get discarded, so “seeding” for 2nd place is not straight forward

Nothing Kpakio couldn't handle.

Isn't that just for sorting the playoff table?
