Goal Statistics

Crewe Alexandra's defensive record is to be admired, L. Bell's men having conceded 1 or less in 9 consecutive League Two matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Grimsby Town makes sense in this context.

Crewe Alexandra have been steady in attack of late, scoring in 14 consecutive League Two matches. Their PG of 1.5 against Grimsby Town on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
