The four-team Group C3 features Kazakhstan, Slovakia, Faroe Islands, and Moldova in a double round-robin league phase beginning 26 September 2026, with each side playing six matches through November. No fixtures have been completed, leaving all sides level on points and creating broad uncertainty reflected in the tightly bunched implied probabilities. Slovakia enters with the strongest recent pedigree from higher-level competition, yet travel demands, limited squad depth across the group, and the potential for results between the lower-ranked sides to reshape standings keep every outcome viable. Home advantage in venues such as Astana, Košice, Tórshavn, and Chișinău, combined with standard tiebreakers on goal difference, further balances the race ahead of the opening matchday.
