Goal Statistics

Grimsby Town's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Bristol Rovers have conceded in each of their last 13 League Two matches. A PG of 1.6 for David Artell's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been an issue for Bristol Rovers of late. It has been 12 League Two games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday afternoon against Grimsby Town.
