Goal Statistics

Birmingham City's defensive record is very strong, C. Davies's men having conceded 1 or less in 15 consecutive League One matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.4 for Bolton Wanderers makes sense in this context.

Birmingham City have been reliable in attack of late, finding the net in 8 consecutive League One matches. Their PG of 1.5 against Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday suggests that run is likely to continue.
