Goal Statistics

Ajax have been consistent in attack of late, scoring in 28 consecutive Eredivisie outings. Their PG of 1.8 against AZ on Sunday suggests that run is likely to continue.

Ajax's defensive record is very strong, F. Farioli's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive Eredivisie games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for AZ makes sense in this context.
