Goal Statistics

PEC Zwolle's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Excelsior have conceded in each of their last 7 Eredivisie outings. A PG of 1.7 for Henry van der Vegt's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Excelsior of late. It has been 7 Eredivisie games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Sunday afternoon against PEC Zwolle.
