Goal Statistics

Cambridge United have been consistent in attack of late, finding the net in 18 consecutive League Two games. Their PG of 1.5 against Salford City on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

Cambridge United's defensive record is to be admired, N. Harris's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive League Two games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Salford City makes sense in this context.
