Goal Statistics

MK Dons's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Shrewsbury Town have conceded in each of their last 8 League Two outings. A PG of 1.8 for P. Warne's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been a problem for Shrewsbury Town of late. It has been 6 League Two games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Saturday afternoon against MK Dons.
