As former striker Sam Vokes reminded, North Macedonia will still have a say in this group and will be eyeing their trip to Cardiff in November as a chance to nick second spot.If the worst happens, Wales are all but sure of having the chance to qualify for the play-offs as one of the Nations League group winners.In the likely event of two of Spain, Germany, Portugal, France and England finishing either first or second in their group, Wales would get their play-off place.It is a handy safety net, but it does come with a warning.The play-offs are seeded with the Nations League entrants being automatically placed into pot four. In other words, should Wales finish third, they would face one of the highest ranked runners-up in the semi-final.Put simply, it means Bellamy’s side have every motivation going into their final three games.And – as was suggested after full-time in Astana – all that matters from here on in is that they win.
