Goal Statistics

Colchester United's defensive record is to be admired, D. Cowley's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive League Two games. An average PG rating of 1.1 for Barrow makes sense in this context.

Colchester United's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Barrow have conceded in each of their last 14 League Two outings. A PG of 1.5 for D. Cowley's side suggests that run should continue.
