Albania's narrow lead in Group C1 stems from three wins in four league-phase matches, including victories over Belarus and San Marino, while Finland and Belarus sit level on seven points with strong goal differences and one loss each. The remaining double-header fixtures—Albania hosting Finland on 12 November and Belarus facing Albania on 15 November, alongside Finland's match against San Marino—create multiple paths for any of the top three sides to finish first and secure promotion to League B. San Marino's position at the bottom eliminates it from contention, leaving a tightly contested race where recent results, head-to-head outcomes, and home advantage will determine the group winner under the wisdom of crowds reflected in current pricing.
