Goal Statistics

Blackpool's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Barnsley have conceded in each of their last 6 League One outings. A PG of 1.6 for Neil Critchley's side suggests that run should continue.

Blackpool's defensive record is to be admired, Neil Critchley's men having conceded 1 or less in 12 consecutive League One outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Barnsley makes sense in this context.
