Goal Statistics

Exeter City's defensive record is to be admired, M. Taylor's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive League Two outings. An average PG rating of 1.3 for Colchester United makes sense in this context.

Scoring more than 1 goal looks like a tall order for Exeter City, with M. Taylor's men failing to score in 4 consecutive League Two matches.
