Goal Statistics

Bradford City's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday afternoon, not least because Northampton Town have conceded in each of their last 7 League One games. A PG of 1.6 for G. Alexander's side suggests that run should continue.

A truly awful PG of just 0.6 should cause concerns for Northampton Town fans, as should a 8 League One games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
