Euro 2020 qualifying: Group D

Glasgow if we win group E, Copenhagen if 2nd and either Bilbao or Budapest id we're one of the top 3rd ....clearly winning the whole tournament

The match day where we would have to play Spain, one of us would obviously need to travel. I think if Spain and Ireland both qualify, they would do a draw to say which team gets the 3rd game at home. For example:   Spain Czech Republic Sweden Republic of Ireland   Match Day 1 Bilbao: Spain vs. Czech   Dublin: Republic of Ireland vs. Sweden   Match Day 2 Bilbao: Spain vs. Sweden   Dublin: Republic of Ireland vs. Czech   Match Day 3 Bilbao: Czech vs. Sweden   Dublin: Republic of Ireland vs. Spain   No Spain and Ireland both get 2 at home and 1 away, the only draw that would be needed would be to see if we play Spain in Dublin or Bilbao. If we were to play them in Dublin, we'd have Sweden/Czech in Bilbao (in your example). No chance we get all 3 at home.

But both Dublin and Bilbao have 3 games each , so I don't understand how it would work without either us or Spain getting all 3 group games at home?

Is this correct?    Ok yeah just tried to work out if there was any way 2 teams could both get at least 2 games and only 2 games at home but doesn't seem to be a combination of that. So yes think it's one team will get 2 at home but then the other will get 3     There is no thinking about it that's what will happen

There seems to be no great clarity on it except we are guaranteed two home games and in the same group as Spain if we both qualify. But no where does it state that if we are drawn at home against Spain that we will have three home games and this is the confusing part, why make us travel to Bilbao to play when we play Spain in Dublin. So I recon if we draw Spain at home we will have three games in the Aviva.

it does work

if you read the UEFA draw on venues for euro 2020 it states that every host is guaranteed two home games but if you are drawn home against another host nation you could have three home games. So like I said Ireland would play Sweden Czech and Spain at home, Spain would play Sweden and Czech at home, that would be the mandate complete. what's the point of have Spain play against Czech in Dublin the same day Ireland play Sweden in Bolboa.
