Goal Statistics

Ajax's defensive record is very strong, F. Farioli's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Eredivisie games. An average PG rating of 1.0 for Almere City FC makes sense in this context.

Ajax's forwards have been excellent of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 6 consecutive Eredivisie outings. A PG of 2.3 suggests that run should continue on Sunday afternoon.
