On Saturday, October 10th Wales will again visit Dublin, then the following Tuesday there will be a trip to Finland for Stephen Kenny's side.

The final game of the Nations League is a home tie on Monday, November 16th when Bulgaria will be the visitors at the Aviva Stadium.
Decent Draw
Avoiding some bigger names such as Russia, Serbia, and the Czech Republic, will be seen as a positive due to the importance of the Nations League when it comes to qualifying for major tournaments.
Topping the Nations League group would help Kenny's men if a potential play-off was needed for the World Cup in 2022.
Elsewhere Northern Ireland were drawn alongside Austria, Norway and Romania.
Scotland are also in League B. they are in Pot two with Slovakia, Israel and the Czech Republic.
Meanwhile, England have a tough draw, with Belgium, Iceland and Ireland's regular opponents Denmark in League A.
