Switzerland need to take a point against Gibraltar to clinch qualification. Denmark and Ireland will play and deciding match in Ireland on Monday. Denmark need a point to take the second slot. If Switzerland unlikey draw Gibraltar, then Denmark can lose with one goal against Ireland and still finish top 2 as it's then head-to-head between the top 3 countries in which all countries would have 5 points and goal difference decides.

In the last round Slovakia host Azerbaijan while Wales host Hungary. Regardless of the match in Slovakia, if there is a winner between Wales and Hungary, that country clinch the second slot. If there is a draw in Wales and Slovakia beat Azerbaijan, both Hungary and Slovakia finish on 13 points and Slovakia have better head-to-head against Hungary. So in summary it means

Wales qualify if they win against Hungary (62%).
Hungary qualify if they win against Wales or Slovakia fail to win against Azerbaijan (21%).
Slovakia qualify if they beat Azerbaijan and Wales and Hungary draw (17%).
