Goal Statistics

NEC Nijmegen's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Sparta Rotterdam have conceded in each of their last 13 Eredivisie matches. A PG of 1.6 for Rogier Meijer's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been an issue for Sparta Rotterdam of late. It has been 5 Eredivisie matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Sunday afternoon against NEC Nijmegen.
