Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.4 is fairly strong for Sheffield United in their meeting with Sheffield Wednesday, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 17 consecutive Championship outings.

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.6 should cause concerns for Sheffield Wednesday fans, as should a 10 Championship games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
