Matchups to watch out for
England and Italy, the finalists of the 2020 Euros, have been drawn in the same group. The two countries were also in the same Nations League group, and will have a couple more matches with one another in the coming months. Ukraine have also been added into the same group, setting up a very tough route to the finals.
Netherlands will be meeting France in group B of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, alongside Ireland, Greece and Gibraltar. The two Nations League winners will be expected to have a solid couple of games against one another too.
Belgium, Austria and Sweden are drawn in group F – and while the Red Devils might be the favourites to qualify, the other two can’t be underestimated either.
