Goal Statistics

Crewe Alexandra's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Newport County have conceded in each of their last 6 League Two matches. A PG of 1.6 for L. Bell's side suggests that run should continue.

Crewe Alexandra's defensive record is very strong, L. Bell's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive League Two games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Newport County makes sense in this context.
