Goal Statistics

Goals have been difficult to come by for Stoke City of late. It has been 5 Championship games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.4 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday lunch time against Oxford United.

With a PG of just 0.9, Oxford United look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that Stoke City have kept a clean sheet in 3 consecutive Championship matches, and it could be a long lunch time for Des Buckingham's men.
