Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.0 is decent for Coventry City in their meeting with Portsmouth, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 15 consecutive Championship outings.

A truly awful PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Portsmouth fans, as should a 5 Championship games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
