Wales are almost certain to face a playoff, but automatic relegation remains possible.

Even a win over Portugal on Tuesday cannot lift Wales from last place, BBC Sport Wales reports. But last place is not automatic relegation: only the two worst-performing League A sides go down directly. Wales are almost certain to face a playoff against a League B side; a point against Portugal would secure it, and even a defeat would most likely still leave them in the playoff. The BBC says direct relegation would require Wales to lose, two of Turkey, the Czech Republic and Serbia to win their final games, and a significant goal-difference swing.
