Goal Statistics

Dunkerque have been reliable in attack of late, finding the net in 8 consecutive Ligue 2 matches. Their PG of 1.8 against Pau FC on Friday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

Dunkerque's defensive record is to be admired, A. Sánchez Saura's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive Ligue 2 outings. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Pau FC makes sense in this context.
