NI可以建立在良好的开端之上
北爱尔兰队以2比0战胜卢森堡队开始了他们的国家联赛，这对他们来说是比赛节奏的一个令人耳目一新的变化。经理Michael O；尼尔此前对国家联盟表现出的兴趣不大，尽管他有机会为排位赛增加种子，并为排位赛提供了潜在的后门。
在没有O的艰难几年之后；尼尔掌舵，这位主教练似乎正在重建一支老龄化的球队。就像他的第一个咒语一样，早期的结果让人难以忍受，但2024年的比赛给球队带来了新的希望，球队在过去的四场比赛中以零比三获胜。他们周四获胜的方式也令人鼓舞，这表明NI可以在这个水平上茁壮成长，并推动晋级国家联盟；第二层。

- Northern Ireland have won three of their last four to nil
- The visitors were in complete control in Thursday’s 2-0 win over Luxembourg
- Bulgaria have lost three of their last five home games to nil
NI can build on strong start
Northern Ireland kicked off their Nations League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Luxembourg, which was a refreshing change of pace for them in the competition. Manager Michael O’Neill has previously shown little interest in the Nations League, despite the opportunity to boost seeding for qualifying and the potential backdoor for qualifying.
After a tough couple of years without O’Neill at the helm, the manager looks to be rebuilding an ageing side. Like his first spell, the early results were tough to stomach, but 2024 has brought renewed hope with the team winning three of their last four games to nil. The manner of their win on Thursday was also encouraging, suggesting NI can thrive at this level and push for promotion into the Nations League’s second tier.
O’Neill’s side should be confident ahead of Sunday’s visit to Bulgaria. Having won at Scotland and drawn in Romania so far this year, they can thrive at a team that has lost three of their last five home games to nil. Opening their campaign with a 0-0 in Belarus was also a setback, allowing NI to take control of the group with a win this weekend.
Up front NI handed another start to 19-year-old Callum Marshall on Thursday and he had chances to open his account for the senior side. The forward has scored twice for Huddersfield this season and he’s consistently put himself into good positions, so he’s an interesting goalscorer option here.
