Goal Statistics

Ajax's forwards have been in fine form of late, finding the net twice or more in 5 consecutive Eredivisie games. A PG of 2.1 suggests that run should continue on Sunday afternoon.

A truly dreadful PG of just 0.5 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.
