Goal Statistics

A truly dreadful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Bulgaria fans, as should a 14 World Cup Qualifying Europe games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Bulgaria have been dreadful at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 4 consecutive World Cup Qualifying Europe games. This run could continue, with Turkey's PG an impressive 2.4.
