Goal Statistics

Ipswich Town have been consistent in front of goal of late, scoring in 15 consecutive Championship games. Their PG of 1.7 against Birmingham City on Monday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

An absolutely dismal PG of just 0.7 should cause concerns for Birmingham City fans, as should a 6 Championship games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
