Goal Statistics

Walsall's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Barrow have conceded in each of their last 11 League Two games. A PG of 1.7 for M. Sadler's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been a problem for Barrow of late. It has been 8 League Two games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday afternoon against Walsall.
