England have practically clinched qualification. Czechia and Kosovo fighting about the second spot. Czechia favorites due to easier schedule while Kosovo are playing England twice. Kosovo also has a match against neighbours Montenegro.

Ukraine and Portugal likely taking the first two spots. Ukraine have Portugal home and Serbia away, otherwise no matches left between top 3 teams.

Netherlands took 3 important points against Germany. Northern Ireland have two matches against Netherlands and one against Germany left. They probably need at least 5 points in those three matches because otherwise they need to trust that Estonia are stealing points from either Germany or Netherlands.

Switzerland play Denmark (away) and Ireland (home) in October, which obviously will be two key matches. In the last round Ireland are hosting Denmark in a match seems to become a decider.

Two interesting matches in October when Spain travel to Scandinavia to Sweden and Norway. Norway also play Romania (away), which probably is a match they need to win.

Finland in a good position to grab the second slot. They play both Bosnia and Herzegovina (away) as well as Armenia (home) in October. Both Armenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina play Italy in November.

Looks like all League A countries finish top 2 except Iceland, which means that three League B countries will fill the slots in League playoff. May of the League B countries also have good chances to clinch a top 2 slot, but more open. Of League C countries only Finland are likely to clinch top 2, which would mean Scotland, Norway, Serbia and Bulgaria play in the playoff. None of the League D countries are likely to clinch a direct spot, so the playoff will likely be played by Nation League winners: Georgia, Macedonia, Belarus and Kosovo.
