Goal Statistics

St Etienne's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday evening, not least because Dunkerque have conceded in each of their last 7 Ligue 2 outings. A PG of 1.9 for E. Horneland's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Dunkerque of late. It has been 6 Ligue 2 games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.2 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Saturday evening against St Etienne.
