France - Netherlands (22:45, Sport4)
The opening of the campaign also marks a new era in the French team, this after the retirement from the national uniform of Hugo Lloris, Raphael Varane and Karim Benzema, who had a conflict with coach Didier Deschamps.
Kylian Mbappe will wear the captain's armband for the first time after the goalkeeper's retirement, to be replaced between the posts by Mike Mannion from Milan.
Deschamps has won five of his last six meetings against the Oranges, and heading into the seventh meeting he is debating the starting striker position between Olivier Giroud and Randall Kolo Moani.
On the other side, Ronald Koeman is preparing for his re-debut in the position he left two and a half years ago to be appointed coach of Barcelona.
The Oranges' preparations for the meeting at the Stade de France are ideal, as five players have been released from the squad for the match after they "became infected with the virus" according to the team's announcement.
Koeman will have to make do without Cody Gakpo, Matthijs de Licht, Sven Botman, Joey Firman and Bart Perbrugan, and the suspicion in Holland is that they felt ill after eating curry chicken.

Returning to the team.

Sweden - Belgium (22:45, Sport2)
After a whole year, mostly sitting on the sidelines due to a serious injury, Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to the national uniform for what will be appearance number 122. The Swedes want to return to a major tournament after missing the last World Cup, but the task will not be easy because Austria is also at home.
Belgium, for its part, will open a new era with Domenico Tedesco on the lines, and hope to forget about the World Cup in which they were already eliminated in the group stage.
The match will be officiated by Israeli referee Oral Greenfeld.

Czech Republic - Poland (22:45)
The two clear favorites to qualify from the first two places at home already meet in the opening round in Prague.
The hosts have come out on top in three of the last four meetings between the teams, but they come with negative momentum as they have won only once in the last seven games.
Will Robert Lewandowski make the difference?
