England vs Wales, 2020 friendly preview: Prediction, TV channel, live stream, team news, time, odds, h2h

England and Wales face off in a friendly tonight as the Three Lions prepare for a Nations League double-header.

England welcome Group B leaders Belgium on Sunday before Denmark come to town next Wednesday. Wales are without Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey ahead of facing Ireland and Bulgaria.

Date, time and venue

England vs Wales is scheduled for a 8pm BST kick-off tonight.

The match will be held behind closed doors at Wembley Stadium with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.
