Goal Statistics

Goals have been a problem for Port Vale of late. It has been 6 League Two games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.3 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Saturday afternoon against Northampton Town.

A truly dismal PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Northampton Town fans, as should a 5 League Two games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
