- Aarau โ 60% chance to win the title. The leaders control their destiny: a win or a draw against their final opponent would secure the championship regardless of Vaduz's result. Their strong record of 25 wins in 35 games underlines their consistency.
- Vaduz โ 40% chance to win the title. Vaduz must win their last match and hope Aarau lose. While they have the second-best attack (72 goals) and second-best defence (40 goals conceded), they rely on a slip-up from the leaders.
