The Dries Mertens Show

It took only 45 minutes for Belgium to get going in this year’s World Cup. After 0-0 in the first half against Panama, Belgium then scored three classy goals in the second half - Lukaku twice and Merten once. Now the Belgians face Tunisia who fell hard against England in the final minutes, losing 2-1. To be frank, this a match that Belgium can win by a few goals. Tunisia need to win and their need to score goals to win the match could create some welcome space for Belgium. One of the players to take advantage of that space is without a doubt, star striker for Napoli, Dries Mertens.

The lightning fast forward scored 18 goals last season in Serie A

Dries Mertens is one of the World Cup’s most underrated players. The lightning fast forward scored 18 goals last season in Serie A, and in the Belgian national team he looks natural alongside world class players such as De Bruyne, Hazard and Lukaku. In qualifying this ferocious attacking troop accounted for 43 goals in only 10 matches, and in the opener against Panama Mertens had many a chance which means he’ll be gasping for more goals.

Belgium will want a good result from this match, wanting to go into their final group game against England in the best possible position. Goal difference could play a role when all things are said and done.

I’m staking on Dries Mertens scoring at least two goals in the match to great odds of 11/1 (12.0) with LeoVegas. I’m hoping for The Dries Mertens Show.
