Goal Statistics

An absolutely dreadful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Stoke City fans, as should a 7 Championship matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Bristol City of late. It has been 5 Championship games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Saturday afternoon against Stoke City.
