Goal Statistics

Blackpool have been reliable in front of goal of late, finding the net in 8 consecutive League One outings. Their PG of 1.7 against Bristol Rovers on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

An absolutely dismal PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Bristol Rovers fans, as should a 7 League One matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
