Goal Statistics

Blackpool's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Cambridge United have conceded in each of their last 9 League One games. A PG of 1.7 for Neil Critchley's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been an issue for Cambridge United of late. It has been 5 League One matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Saturday afternoon against Blackpool.
