Goal Statistics

Drogheda United FC have been steady in front of goal of late, finding the net in 9 consecutive Premier Division outings. Their PG of 1.9 against Cork City FC on Monday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

A truly dismal PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Cork City FC fans, as should a 8 Premier Division matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
