Goal Statistics

Goals have been difficult to come by for Charlton Athletic of late. It has been 9 Championship matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.3 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Thursday afternoon against Coventry City.

Coventry City's fans will be hoping for goals on Thursday afternoon, not least because Charlton Athletic have conceded in each of their last 6 Championship games. A PG of 1.6 for F. Lampard's side suggests that run should continue.
