Football Player Mertens' and Napoli's Team Statistics Revealed
Napoli is set to resume their Serie A campaign next Saturday, following the break for international matches, with a challenging encounter against Udinese. The Neapolitan club is considered favourites by the main bookmakers, with a win paying 1.80.
The third bet to try your luck this week, according to some articles, involves numbers related to Dries Mertens and Belgium's recent match. Mertens, the 29-year-old striker currently playing for his national team, has been in fine form. He scored two goals and caused an own goal in Belgium's 8-1 win over Estonia. His shirt number, 14, in the Smorfia (Italian football superstition) represents "the drunkard," a fitting nickname for a player who has been known to score crucial goals at pivotal moments.
Mertens' recent performance for Belgium saw him find the back of the net in the 16th and 68th minutes of the match. This form could bode well for Napoli, who are scheduled to play Udinese in the 13th round of the Serie A championship.
Napoli's history at Udinese's field is a mixed bag. They have won only 5 times, lost 14 times, and drawn 19 times in 38 matches played there. However, the last time Napoli won in Udine was on September 21, 2007, with a resounding 5-0 victory.
The draw is quoted at 3.50, while a win for Udinese is seen as less likely, with a quota of 4.50. Napoli had a "shock" in the first 15 minutes of the second half in their recent match, scoring 7 goals (33% of their goals in Serie A this season) and conceding 6 goals (almost half of those conceded).
Kevin De Bruyne, who joined SSC Napoli on July 1, 2025, is another key player for Napoli. The Neapolitan currently playing for his national team is seen as a crucial addition, bringing his experience and quality to the team. De Bruyne's impact could be decisive in Napoli's upcoming clash against Udinese.
A special quaterna (four-number combination) related to Napoli for the upcoming match is 6-7-46-60. Whether this superstition holds any truth remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the upcoming match promises to be an exciting encounter in the Serie A championship.
