Goal Statistics

Sheffield United's defensive record is very strong, Chris Wilder's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Championship games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Plymouth Argyle makes sense in this context.

Sheffield United have been reliable in attack of late, scoring in 10 consecutive Championship matches. Their PG of 1.7 against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
