France vs Italy: Given the rich history between these two sides, any match between France and Italy is one fans will not want to miss. Both teams will be hoping to make their mark in this competition after not getting the results they wanted at the UEFA EURO 2024 competition, and at the same time, will be eager to shut down their respective critics - especially in the case of Italy, who have struggled to achieve consistency after winning the EURO 2021 contest three years ago.

Ireland vs England: The Three Lions will now undertake their first tournament since Gareth Southgate's departure earlier this summer. There were high hopes for England at this summer's EURO competition, but unfortunately, the Three Lions just couldn't get over the finish line. To make matters worse, England were demoted to League B after a poor showing at the last Nations League, and now will need to claw their way back up into League A by hitting the ground running. First up for them will be a clash against Ireland, who are ranked 26th - seven spots behind England's current rank of 19.
