Goal Statistics

Exeter City's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Rotherham United have conceded in each of their last 8 League One games. A PG of 1.5 for G. Caldwell's side suggests that run should continue.

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.7 should cause concerns for Rotherham United fans, as should a 9 League One matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
