Goal Statistics

Newcastle United have been consistent in front of goal of late, finding the net in 8 consecutive English Premier League matches. Their PG of 1.8 against Bournemouth on Saturday suggests that run is likely to continue.

Newcastle United's defensive record is to be admired, Eddie Howe's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive English Premier League matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Bournemouth makes sense in this context.
