Goal Statistics

Stoke City have been steady in attack of late, finding the net in 8 consecutive Championship matches. Their PG of 1.6 against Middlesbrough on Tuesday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

Stoke City's defensive record is very strong, M. Robins's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Championship matches. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Middlesbrough makes sense in this context.
