Goal Statistics

Norwich City's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday afternoon, not least because Portsmouth have conceded in each of their last 9 Championship games. A PG of 1.7 for P. Clement's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Portsmouth of late. It has been 5 Championship matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Friday afternoon against Norwich City.
