Still early days in qualifying campaign but Austria v Belgium (Group A), Slovenia v Italy (Group C), Hungary v Netherlands (Group E), Norway v Denmark (Group H) and Spain v Czech Republic (Group I) all look important in the context of the various groups. Even Bosnia v Romania in Group D is between a couple of lower placed sides but will probably rule one of them out of challenging for a playoff spot already.
