Goal Statistics

Cambridge United have been consistent in front of goal of late, scoring in 8 consecutive League Two games. Their PG of 1.6 against Tranmere Rovers 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 10 consecutive League Two games. An average PG rating of 1.3 for Tranmere Rovers makes sense in this context.
