Goal Statistics

FC Utrecht's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Fortuna Sittard have conceded in each of their last 20 Eredivisie matches. A PG of 1.9 for R. Jans's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Fortuna Sittard of late. It has been 5 Eredivisie games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Sunday afternoon against FC Utrecht.
