Goal Statistics

Middlesbrough's fans will be hoping for goals on Wednesday evening, not least because Sheffield Wednesday have conceded in each of their last 18 Championship outings. A PG of 1.6 for K. Hellberg's side suggests that run should continue.

An absolutely dismal PG of just 0.6 should cause concerns for Sheffield Wednesday fans, as should a 19 Championship games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
