Goal Statistics

Bolton Wanderers's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Shrewsbury Town have conceded in each of their last 5 League One outings. A PG of 1.7 for Ian Evatt's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been a problem for Shrewsbury Town of late. It has been 5 League One matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday afternoon against Bolton Wanderers.
