Wales vs. Ireland (in Cardiff, Cardiff City Stadium)

Another version of the clash between those two teams who already were in the same qualifying pool for the 2018 World Cup. Neither team made it through to the tournament in Russia, but Ireland last won a game between the two, winning the match in late 2017 in Cardiff by one goal on the night:

Germany vs. France (in Munich)

The World champions arrived in Munich using the same plane as Ireland were apparently supposed to use on their trip to Cardiff the day before, flying to Germany from Vélizy-Villacoublay, Paris' VIP airbase in the South-Western outskirts of the city:

England vs. Spain (at Wembley, London)

One team coming off a more than inspiring World Cup campaign decided to keep things as close as possible from the squad deployed to Russia in the summer while the other team is arriving at Wembley with a new coach in Julen Lopetegui Luis Enrique:
