Goal Statistics

Cardiff City's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Northampton Town have conceded in each of their last 10 League One outings. A PG of 1.8 for B. Barry-Murphy's side suggests that run should continue.

An absolutely dismal PG of just 0.7 should cause concerns for Northampton Town fans, as should a 11 League One games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
