Having already played Northern Ireland in a friendly game, this double-header gives Bell some more time to work with his players having recently taken over the role of manager from Dave Connell.
Bell was previously assistant manager to Connell so he is familiar with the set-up and some of the players having previously coached several members of the current squad, including Saoirse Noonan and Heather Payne who both played in this summer's UEFA U17 European Championships in Iceland.
The focus for Bell is very much on October's three first phase qualifying games in Turkey and he is excited to have two tests against Scotland in Edinburgh to prepare for those games.
"I think they will be two tough games for us. The door is always open and it will be difficult to pick a squad (for the qualifying games) but hopefully I'll have nailed down some places after the Scotland games," said Bell.
"It is exciting to get going with these games but we know that we have a job to do and the girls will come up against a tough Scotland team, who I've seen on DVD. But these are the type of games that we need."
Along with Noonan and Payne, Bell has included two other players in Lauryn O'Callaghan and Niamh Farrelly who have experience at this level and that should help him in these games.
