Goal Statistics

NEC Nijmegen's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Groningen have conceded in each of their last 7 Eredivisie matches. A PG of 1.5 for Rogier Meijer's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been a problem for Groningen of late. It has been 5 Eredivisie games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Sunday afternoon against NEC Nijmegen.
