Goal Statistics

Cambridge United have been consistent in front of goal of late, finding the net in 8 consecutive League Two outings. Their PG of 1.7 against Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

An absolutely dreadful PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Shrewsbury Town fans, as should a 6 League Two games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
