Goal Statistics

Crewe Alexandra's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday evening, not least because Bristol Rovers have conceded in each of their last 13 League Two games. A PG of 1.9 for L. Bell's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been an issue for Bristol Rovers of late. It has been 9 League Two games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.2 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Friday evening against Crewe Alexandra.
