Goal Statistics

Cambridge United have been steady in front of goal of late, finding the net in 10 consecutive League Two games. Their PG of 1.9 against Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

A truly dreadful PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Shrewsbury Town fans, as should a 8 League Two games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
