Goal Statistics

A truly dreadful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Almere City FC fans, as should a 5 Eredivisie matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

FC Utrecht's forwards have been in fine form of late, finding the net twice or more in 3 consecutive Eredivisie matches. A PG of 2.2 suggests that run should continue on Sunday afternoon.
