Goal Statistics

A truly dreadful PG of just 0.8 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.

A PG of 2.2 is decent for FC Utrecht in their meeting with Almere City FC, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 32 consecutive Eredivisie games.
