Goal Statistics

Goals have been an issue for Heracles Almelo of late. It has been 6 Eredivisie games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.4 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday afternoon against Sparta Rotterdam.

Sparta Rotterdam's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Heracles Almelo have conceded in each of their last 9 Eredivisie games. A PG of 1.8 for Erkan Sozeri's side suggests that run should continue.
