Goal Statistics

Wrexham's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Watford have conceded in each of their last 5 Championship matches. A PG of 1.5 for P. Parkinson's side suggests that run should continue.

Wrexham's defensive record is to be admired, P. Parkinson's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Championship matches. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Watford makes sense in this context.
