Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill believes his side's recent good performances on the road have shown the way to play against Bulgaria on Sunday.
While those games were all friendlies, O'Neill feels they displayed characteristics that will serve Northern Ireland well on their travels in the Nations League. While goals remain something of a problem for the side - both against Luxembourg were scored by defenders at set-pieces - Northern Ireland have displayed increasing solidity in defence.
"The biggest difference more than anything has been, Spain aside, we've only conceded one goal in six games," O'Neill said.
